FM 09 key code

i've tried activating this code in every possible combination but its always an invalid key, i'm getting very very frustrated doing it, whoever thought "lets print the code in dots instead of doing it with normal characters" i hope someone brought him out the back and shot him:mad:

anyway i've gone to the steam website and that product key checker tells me its invalid which i already know it is because otherwise i wouldn't be looking it up, any help with this or could the manual key be totally wrong?

I would guess that you're having trouble deciphering zeros and Os in the keycode. This is a known problem with the keycodes.

Have you tried putting your key in here?

It worked for me in November

There was something on here that allowed you to type in the code and it deciphered it,can't find it tho or i'd link you,was something official when the game came out because i and a lot of others had this problem.

EDIT: lol the post above mine should help a treat.

just says invalid key with no solutions

edit- it actually worked i had a character that had a squigle through it half way up so i tried a T instead of an I and it worked, i thank you for your help everyone i realise i'm an idiot

Its not your fault, even SI have admitted the codes are very very hard to read!
