So, after claiming I wasn't going to play sc2 I went out at midnight to buy it. Brought it home .. installed ... tried to activate my cd key but it just fails? Am I missing something or am I getting the big d? Any insights appreciated.

Obviously you hurt its feelings with your anti-sc2 talk!

Seriously though, that sucks =[
True learning is not the memorization of knowledge; it is the internalization of patterns.

Are you absolutely sure its correct? Because apparently the "g" in wings of liberty made a "H" look like an "A" according to someone in another thread. So seriously check, double check triple check and then quadroople check it, because 9 time out of 10 these key problems are caused by people who didn't read the keys correctly.

did you put - between the letters of the cdkey? like xxxx-xxx-xxxx-xxx-xxxx yes you should also type the -'s.

i didnt use dashes
you might be misreading some letters or numbers, confusing them due to the font

Wow now I feel like a complete idiot... There are no other Rs in my entire cd key so when the g comes down from wings of liberty it makes my k look like an R.. Its completely obviously now -- not so much at 1 in the morning.

Edit: Ego is such a bitch... "There's no way I'm reading this wrong that many times. I've entered so many cd keys that I think I would know how to read one." Looks like I'm wrong
