Michael Osmann Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 All - V4 ended only working for about 10% of the people with problems. What we see most of the people with -10, -1, -703, 12029, 12007 are simply blocked from getting out on the internet with our activator. This has mostly been Vista Firewall - but there all sorts of reasons ranging from firewalls, to anti-virus to proxies servers, routers and more. In the most severe cases the only program that has internet access has been IE or Firefox. So - we have created for you a disconnected Activator Fix. This fix will let you create a file, go to a website, upload the file, and then install a response file so that you can play the game without the game ever needing the internet. We hope this fixes the problem for most of you. Note this is NOT official from SiGames yet - so the file isn't signed etc. But it should allow most of you to give it a try before it becomes an official fix. Please give it a spin. Please download the fix here: http://redsky.uniloc.com/FM2009/FixV6.zip To use the fix do the following: 1) Download the file to your desktop 2) Unzip the contents of the file - You must unzip ALL of the files... 3) Click RunMe.exe 4) Enter your license key under the panel that reads "Step 1" 5) Press the "Save" button 6) Save the "Request.txt" file to your desktop 7) In Internet Explorer - go to http://keylookup.fm2009.softanchorinsight.com/fileactivate.aspx - You may also click the link under the panel that says "Step 2" 8) Next, the web page you opened: use the "Browse" button to upload "Request.txt" to the server 9) Press "Upload" and upload the file to the server 10) The server will then ask you to save a file called "Response.txt" 11) Save this file to your desktop 12) Next, go back to the fix program. Under the panel that says "Step 3" press the "Load" button and then find Response.txt on your desktop 13) Once you load the file - the application will tell you if you have been successful. 14) If you are successful - start you game. 15) If you are not successful - please email us the error code at errors@uniloc.com and we will continue to try and help you. Can I use your guide/fix when installing or re-installing the game? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Osmann Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Hi Michael,Please PM me your ticket number and I'll chase Steam directly for you. This is unacceptable Hi Muzchap Thank you for ur help. it's really appreciated mate Ticketnr.? I've tried asking my problem on Steam's board. But I'm still on: "Michael Osmann, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons: 1.

Palacefanatic Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING ONE OF THESE ISSUES – PLEASE READWhen I try to activate, it says I'm not connected to the internet / other activation problems OR Error: You are receiving the Error ‘Product Key already Active’ message OR I’m receiving the Error [-10] what can I do? OR You are receiving a [-703] error: ‘We were unable to process your unlock request. To receive a new key please visit sigames.com’ OR You are receiving an Error [-821] OR Error: You are receiving the Error [-51] / [-52] message OR You receive the ‘Error: Application was unable to connect to the internet. Please check your connection.’ OR You receive the ‘Error -10, -1, -703, 12029, 12007.’ What we see most of, is people with -10, -1, -703, 12029, 12007 errors, who are simply blocked from getting out on the internet with our activator. This has mostly been Vista Firewall - but there all sorts of reasons ranging from firewalls, to anti-virus to proxies servers, routers and more. In the most severe cases the only program with internet access has been IE or Firefox. Therefore, we have created a disconnected Activator Fix. This fix will let you create a file, go to a website, upload the file, and then install a response file so that you can play the game without the game ever needing the internet. We hope this fixes the problem for most of you. Please download the fix here: http://www.footballmanager.com/fixv3.zip this is v8.0 - we haven't changed the url as other posts are linking To use the fix, please do the following: 1) Download the file to your desktop 2) Unzip the contents of the file - You must unzip ALL of the files... (ActivatorDLL.dll, FootballManager2009.jpg and RunMe.exe) 3) Click RunMe.exe 4) Enter your license key under the panel that reads "Step 1" 5) Press the "Save" button 6) Save the "Request.txt" file to your desktop 7) In Internet Explorer - go to http://keylookup.fm2009.softanchorinsight.com/fileactivate.aspx - You may also click the link under the panel that says "Step 2" 8) In the web page that you have opened, please use the "Browse" button to upload "Request.txt" to the server 9) Press "Upload" and upload the file to the server 10) The server will then ask you to save a file called "Response.txt" 11) Save this file to your desktop 12) Next, go back to the fix program. Under the panel that says "Step 3" press the "Load" button and then find Response.txt on your desktop, or wherever you saved it to in step 11, for Vista users the default is the ‘download’ folder in Users Documents, for XP users the default is typically the desktop. 13) Once you have loaded the file - the application will tell you if you have been successful. 14) If you are successful - Please start your game. 15) If you are not successful - please email us the error code at errors@uniloc.com and we will continue to try and help you. Thank you for your continued patience ANY POSTS THAT ARE DEEMED UNHELPFUL OR EFFECTIVELY MASK THIS THREAD WILL BE REMOVED WITHOUT WARNING - THIS IS TO BENEFIT THE PEOPLE THAT NEED ASSISTANCE - PLEASE ONLY POST IF YOU NEED ASSISTANCE TO AN ISSUE LISTED ABOVE - OR HAVE A NEW ACTIVATION ISSUE After i click on the runme.exe i get an error message saying i need something called .NET framework v2.0.50737.
