CD Authentication Failed [Online]

[Califoleh]

When I try to get online I get a CD Authentication Failed error.
Now the thing is, I got my DOW Expansion game over a year ago, I had lost the serial code. Recently I found a keygen and used that to play the game. I didn't save the key I used. I don't know if that is related to the online play at all but if it is is there anyway I can fix it? Is there anyway I can fix it if it's not?

I'm experiencing the same exact problem. Only I'm installed with my LEGIT key from the back of my original copies

I installed DOW: Gold Edition ( I re-purchased it after one of my Winter Assault CDs got cracked... DEVOTION )
I then ran DOW and DOW:WA once each.
I then installed Dark Crusade.
I then fired up DOW:DC
After several attempts at remembering my account password from years ago I gave um and started making a new account. Once done I would hit accept (or whatever) and then was taken to a screen aforementioned Authentication failed screen.

I opened ports ( udp and tcp )
3784
27900
27901
29910
6667
28910
29900
29901
29920

and ran the application normally, as an admin, in xpsp2 compatibility mode and in the prior mode as admin

KEY INFO: I am running x64 Vista ( me thinks the issue lay here )

Any Ideas?

I personally can't help you but it sounds like like my problem isn't directly related to me not having the original key so theres hope yet :p

[Raptor_Shadow]

Califoleh, I'm afraid your problem is entirely tied to not having your original key. When you connect to online play the server checks your CD key to make sure you're using a legit key. Using a pirated cdkey is not allowed (for obvious reasons), which why there's a check in the first place.

You're only bet for getting back online is to find your original, legitimate cd key and to reinstall the game with it.

And we personally can't help you either since you're using a CD key generator, which is used for software piracy. So whatever hope there is, you're not going to find it here.

Sombus, please create a thread for yourself and we'll help you out.
