Default Newbie seeks Help with CD Key (NO, i didnt lose mine...)

Well, I finally bought the game after getting my name PC, and i installed it. Then i patched it. Then I installed Gray Wolves. Al before playing it once

When I tried to run the game. It asked me for the CD Key. My CD key was a white sticker with 6 numbers on it in black type. I typed those in and it gave me an error message...
'the key you entered is either wrong or mistyped'

What gives!?

Anyone ?

I think you used the wrong key. Mine is on the actual DVD disc and has 29 digits including dashes.

Default cd key

on my game, the CD key was inside the box the game came in, and was about 20 characters long.

Or DVD-key, depending:p.

Right, DVD/CD-keys are never just six digits. You must be looking at the wrong code.

My code, like Henry Wood's, was on the DVD itself. Brilliant as it makes it impossible to lose it without losing the whole disk, but annoying as it was not also printed someplace else. I had to take the disk out of the computer during the install program, type in the code from it, and then re-insert it and continue installing. A bit cumbersome.

I think I'm screwed; I have a 6 digit code on a sticker inside the box in bold type, then a 10 digit code where the first 6 digits are the same, with four new digits.

I've looked on inside the box, outside the box every page of the manual, on the DVD....NOTHING!

Maybe someone has else has experienced this. I've never had something like this happen in 18 years of PC gaming...

any way to access the code thru the DVD?

My Install Key Code is on a small white sticker inside my plastic DVD case.

Send a note to Ubisoft Customer Service.
