AMIA ARCHIVE • View topic - Cannot log in: Your CD Key is already inuse on that server.

Please help, I've played with this cdkey and account (Nefzen Lynx) always from the same computer and IP (i can give a DM the ip). Since this afternoon I cannot login since someone is using the same key, apparently.

Error message when attempt to login:

Connection to server has failed.
Connection error: Your CD Key is already in use on that server.

I tought that the CD Key was associated with an account.. how come that two accounts can login (not at the same time, as I witnessed) with the same CD Key?

How can I fix this? I should get a new CD Key, login and request that my character is transfered to the new key?

Thank you for your support!

If you used gog to get a key you need to request a multiplayer key.

If not.. well, maybe someone's using your CDKey. :shock:

I don't think that's the case. I've encountered that problem myself, in the past - it just kind of happens and, in my experience, is fixed on its own. All I did when this happened to me was wait and after a while had no problems what so ever.

thank you for your replies. Hope that it gets fixed soon, then.

If you're playing with a "free" cd key from the internet, this issue is likely to occur.

So I tried with a new key.

The problem is that my character is bound to my old key.

So I think that it works like that:

A character is bound to a key, but a key is not bound to a character nor user, i.e. you cannot use the same character with another key, but you can use the same key to use another character. Even from a different user.

The key-binding is a system to prevent someone taking over your account via some security hole in NWN; maybe it had to do with Gamespy stopping account authentication? Anyway, you can add a new key to your list of accepted keys by making a new PC (on your new key/old account) and contacting a DM in game.

Thank you. I created a new character (will level it eventually, doing so now) and waiting for a DM.

Hopefully my main character story can continue

Are you using a key generator?

all good. sorted this out. Thanks everyone!
