CD Key is Invalid

[Eck Sharp]

I've had Dawn of War installed for some time now, without any problems.

But now when I try to play online it says that my CD key is invaild... even although it was fine when I first installed the game.

Is there anyway where I can check my CD key without reinstalling the game (although I'm not sure if reinstalling works... I may have tried it before, can't remember)

I aswell as that I also get an error message saying that I am not connected to the internet (although I am), after I try to reconnect after it says my CD key is invaild.

Is anyone come across this before? Can anyone help? :P

Just had the same problem
failed to authorise CD and then says im not connected. ive been playing since the public release so im not sure whats going on here

Yes. Check in your registry: (start->run->regedit)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\THQ\Dawn of War
Make sure it matches the key on the box. Pay special attention to 0 and o, as they apparently look quite similar.

ah thanks moe...

Mine hadn't been set :S... think it might be due to the fact I reinstalled windows a few weeks ago! So it obviously wiped the key from the Reg!

Ah ha... of to war :)
