if your computer had parts replaced then uninstall the game, clean out any leftover files and then reinstall the game

New video card, RAM, and hard drive, so no left over files.

Someone else asked the same question a while ago and it turned out he was using the wrong code. You gave no info so if you have SH4 and then a downloaded Uboat add on, you may be using the wrong code. I think it was a D2D download.

I have SH4, downloaded 1.5 and I am using the code given to me when i got 1,5.

I think it might be a Win7 issue. I will just buy a new copy.

Ivank,
Did you try the CD Key from the SH4 booklet? (can't call it an instruction manual )

Just having to activate online, I was really bothered when it didn't work, and Ubisoft is still around, so I have to wonder what's going on. So I found a cheap copy and ordered one, so's I ouldn't have to go through this.

I know, I know, Microsoft does this...
