Default Key Code Invalid / My key code won't work

Just got this game off ebay. would really love to play it, BUT how do I get the key code entered?
I've tried caps, no caps, dashes, no dashes, Zeroes and O's. I've tried every combination and substitution I can think of.
Now I find that the developers are defunct. So no support
Can anyone give me a valid key code?
I thought I would dock my U-Boat for awhile and punch some holes in Russian armor for a change!!

I sounds like you may have a pirated copy. And there is no support here for
pirated software.

Default invalid key code

Zee,
Thanks for a quick reply.
I can't see any proof of my copy being "pirated". The box arrived sealed in shrink-wrap. The disc has a factory label on it. Lighthouse interactive, artwork, etc.
What else can I do for key code entry?

I didn't know that (important) detail, I am at a loss as to the cause of not accepting the key. I wish I could be more helpful mcostello70.

Best regards,

Default wrong letter/number

Or you may be entering the wrong letter or number like many others because they are written so small as to be illegible.Try o(letter) instead of 0 for example.Read some of the old threads on TvsT I think some people had the same problem.

also, try 5's instead of S's and B's instead of 8's. I'm surprised I'm not bald from all the hair pulling that came from entering a key perfectly and having it say I was wrong. Thankfully nowadays the game companies are getting a little better at things like this, making more legible keycodes.

On another note
Finally getting to play this, installed it half an hour ago on Win 7 64-bit, looking great.
Love the sounds and amazed at how the game "feels" so far.
Qstn: using a wireless keyboard (doubt if that makes much difference) but the default keys assigned to the controls, ie. rpm's etc etc, when i try to turn engine off or on (e) it doesn't seem to respond. Auto driver doesn't seem to "auto drive" when turned on (f)?
Anyone else having this problem?
Auto gunner is working.
Maybe the keys need to be reassigned? Doubt if that will change anything.
