AOE3 Forums

If anyone can help me get past the CD key validation I'll play any games.  It always says it can't validate the CD key and to try again in a few minutes.  If anyone can help, please do.  Also if I can get anyone to get on the lan.  I'll set this up for anyone who likes the game, reads the forum and wants to play.  Also post times for when to play.  Post a couple of days ahead.  I'm home with nothing to do for the next couple of days so if anyone wants to play on any of the next three days look for me on the lan.

Search before you post, this has been asked and answered a million times! Every new AOM players suffer from your problem.

I've looked around and have tried many ways to fix it.  Nothing works.  Also it is for anyone who wants to play games online.

You must be blind!

AOM was recently sold out to Ubisoft and other 3rd Party organisations. ES issued them all with the same product key. Because you can only create one accout per Product Key, there are thousands of unhappy gamers unable to access the ESO servers.  (Please note the original servers are now closed, only those who have purchased the AOM expansion can play.) Contact ES (at bottom of page) and request a new and unique Product Key.
