Game Forum / Role Playing Games / Diablo / June 2004connect to battle.net question
Pardon my newbieness. I've played D2 and LOD for years in single mode. I did, for a brief little bit, play online, when i first bought D2, before LOD, however, that was back when i had a dialup connection and the LAG was just terrible. This weekend I got bored with single play and decided to try my luck online again, now that we have a cable modem. However. I keep getting this error message, "CD Key not activated for this purpose" or something like that. Tells me to re-install. I did that three or four times but it still wont work. I have two different CD Keys; my first copy of LOD, the one i originally used to play online with, cracked and broke, but i kept the CD Key. I tried to install and use both CD Keys but altho the game runs fine in single, neither CDKey will connect online. Was anyone else experiencing any kind of difficulty to conect to Battle.net over the weekend? It could be a problem with the cable modem and the "firewall" they say is built in. However, I was able to connect and play online with D1. But not D2. any suggestions? > Pardon my newbieness. > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > However.

Stick in the CD and there should be something like "upgrade your installation" or something to that effect. >> Pardon my newbieness. >> [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] >CD and there should be something like "upgrade your installation" or >something to that effect. yeah, sounds like that, but no, made sure i did the full install, including the cinematics, each time. >>> Pardon my newbieness. >>> [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] >yeah, sounds like that, but no, made sure i did the full install, >including the cinematics, each time. May not help, but try it with just the multiplayer installation. Or, try installing it in a different directory. -- Andy *anadriel, *anadriel-2, *anadriel-3 Try reinstalling the game. > Pardon my newbieness. > [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > > any suggestions? >Try reinstalling the game. did that several times. the actual error message is "This CD KEy is not authorized for use on Battle.Net" but i'm the only perosn who has ever used this CD Key. I dont actually know if i ever played LOD online or not, i cant remember. But I havent given the key number to anyone. what would cause that message? >>Try reinstalling the game. > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > >what would cause that message? Did you buy the software in the full retail package? If not, then it may be single-player only (demo software, etc). If it is the full retail package and you BOUGHT it, then check with Blizzard.

If it is the >full retail package and you BOUGHT it, then check with Blizzard. yes, full retail, got both D2 and LOD legit. howldog spewed forth with this commentary: >>>> Try reinstalling the game. >>> [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > yes, full retail, got both D2 and LOD legit. maybe your key was banned... perhaps.
