Hep me; LOTR Battle for Middle Earth and EA games in general
 

My daughter bought Lord of the Rings Middle Earth, installed it and somewhere in the EA account and registration process something went wrong. When she tries to play the game online, it says CD Key already in use. I search the web and EA support but cannot find any ideas on how to retrieve the CD key... any ideas?

thanks
Neal

Go to the store and bring the game back and tell them whats wrong, I had the EXACT same problem and I later found out that somebody probly stole my CD key when they pirated the game.

They SHOULD give you a new Copy.

Also wanted to add im new to this site and like it very much, Good work on it.

If its one of EA's games then ya its quite likely the key got stolen by someone else, unfortunatly EA has had a leak for the last several years of their key generation systems for virtualy all their games.

But ya, do as Packerton suggests first (welcome to subsim Packerton btw :) )

Failing that you could try EA tech support


here are some support links for battle of middle earth
