I have my RA3 installed on both my comps, but when I go to play a network game it tells me that I cant play because each one has to have its own key. I thought this was ment for online gaming and not home lan games. Is there a way around this without having to buy a second RA3 disc and serial# ?

No, you need 2 different serial numbers to get LAN game working.

None of this makes any ztyping sense. You can authorize RA3 on up to five computers at once. Should just be able to install and go. Confused

That's not the problem: it's the fact that he can't use the same game twice for a LAN game (as they use the same key).

depends on how you look at it, but not really, It only works for lan game not online game. Just using this for private at home lan games. And as Fen stated you can install and authorize same game on multiple computers anyway. It's my game and I purchased it, so why should I not be allowed to play lan games with it? It's really not that big of a deal.

That's not piracy! It's so ridiculous that we can't play a game by lan because we have just one copy, I think that's worse than piracy, it has no sense.
BTW, could anyone tell me what registry key should I modify? Is it "Product GUID"?

Well I talked to support over at EA/Origin and they didnt like the idea of what I did. And I really didnt have to, I purchased and downloaded another RA3 last night. Cost me 20.00, more than I wanted to spend but oh well. I'm legit now. Case closed. Smile
