fozza Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Please right click on the Game Launcher screen - and select VIEW CD KEY I obtained my CD key using that method and it works fine on FM club, but when i try to activate my game online it returns Error : [-51] I tried to activate over the phone twice, but it ended up just crashing the activator twice.

Bobby G Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Muzchap, no visible issues but when I loaded it, it said version 9.01, so does that mean patch was pre-loaded cause I didnt download that differently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rathen Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Muzchap just as a heads up - I solved my problem. Turns out I did have FM09 but it was set to US language - hence all the american central terms (head coach etc). Setting it to English (UK) has fixed it.
