Is there a way to get the remaining premium modules? I'm especially interested in Pirates of the Sword Coast and Wyvern Crown of Cormyr.

Thanks. Looking forward to playing these.

That's not true. The authentication servers are still up, they just allow all requests now. The server sends back a key that's used to decrypt the module, and that's needed every time you try to load the module. So these modules will only work as long as that server stays up.

The keys can be stored locally to make the modules work offline, that's what the '.dat' files in the 'premium' folder are for.
You can generate your own '.dat' files for the premium modules using a python script linked in the comments here(near the bottom of the page):
http://neverwintervault.org/project/nwn1/module/bioware-premium-modules

The servers have been offline since June, 2014. And they DO work without authentication. I have never generated keys like you suggest, and I am able to play offline just fine.

Of course, any modules that you have that came with '.dat' files will work offline just fine(like KM, SG, and WW). But unplug your internet and try to launch one of the ones you don't have a '.dat' file for(check your 'premium' folder to see which ones you have).

The auth server is definitely still online. That script in the page I linked to connects to 'nwmaster.bioware.com' to get the decryption keys.

EDIT: Don't feel like making a new post for this: It would take 5 seconds for you to verify that the server can do more than just respond to pings. For example, watching packets with wireshark while trying to launch a premium module, or modifying that script to dump any packets it receives. It's clear that you don't care and just wish to spread misinformation, so there's no point in trying to explain this to you anymore.

I only have .dat files for KM, SG and WW, and yet I can play Infinite Dungeons, Pirates of the Sword Coast, Wyvern Crown of Cormyr just fine -- I never play online; my gaming rig does not have an internet connection.

Granted, nwmaster.bioware.com is ping-able, but that does not mean it's functional for authentication. Why would Bioware state it's offline if it is still functioning?

Hello, everyone!

Just to add to what Windwakr said.
The Python script works, but it's difficult for newbies to make good use of it. Plus, the script needs to connect to BioWare server to generate the "dat" files.

So, I took the liberty of making an application built around this script.
Now you can just run the relevant EXE file, choose the module, paste your CD-key and generate the ".dat" file!
Additionally, the process doesn't require Internet connection.

I take no credits for this application, since I don't need any and the original script is not mine anyway, I simply modified it.

@Hickory - you don't play multiplayer, but you normally still need to connect to BioWare's server to play Infinite Dungeons, Pirates of the Sword Coast or Wyvern Crown of Cormyr. Try disconnecting your computer from the Internet and starting or loading one of these premium modules - you won't be able to.

The above generator allows anyone to play any premium module, no matter whether they are connected to anything or not. What might be even more important, this generator will still allow people to play these modules even if BioWare decides to shut the master server down completely.

Yeah, because it's ALWAYS a good idea for people to download and execute a random file from a random source. What part of "my gaming rig does not have an internet connection" don't you understand?

Lets get the facts stated. The premium modules are encrypted with the Blowfish cipher. When you try to launch a premium module, the game will check for a '.dat' in the 'premium' folder with the same name as the module. If it finds one, it will then decrypt it(using your CD key) and use the key it finds inside to decrypt the premium module. If it doesn't find one, it will connect to the auth server(which IS still up) and request a key(all requests are now allowed through, whether you own the module or not), which it then uses for decryption. This whole process must be done every time you load a premium module(new game or saved file).

There is no other way these modules can load up. The key used to decrypt the module either comes from a '.dat' file or the auth server. If you don't have a '.dat' file for the module and you don't have an internet connection, you'll just get this screen forever:

Could you try just one thing for me?
Add this line to your HOSTS file on your internetless gaming rig and try launching WC, ID, or PotSC.

EDIT, not worth making a new post:
It's OK if you don't want to admit that you're wrong, I understand.

No. I'm not playing your games. I've told you over and over, I don't have an internet connection, and I can play the games. I feel no need to alter anything at all, and I don't need to justify myself to anybody.

What a dickhead you are. How can I be wrong, if I can sit here on an internet-less rig and play the damned modules? And it's that attitude of yours that prevented me from saying yes, nothing more.

*chuckles*

Ok, fine, let's say you can play your premium modules without the Internet connection.

Still, for anyone who CAN'T and WOULD LIKE to (or simply anyone who wants to make sure they can play their modules even if the authentication server finally goes down), this link is still the way to go (remove spaces):

@Hickory, I understand your concern about downloading random files from a random source, but I assure you and everyone else, this is not a virus. I'm not just a totally random guy popping out of nowhere, I'm Grani from BioWare Social Network and I am quite active there. Alternatively, you can find me frequently on the IRC channel of Neverwinter Vault. I also own a channel on YT ("Taro") where I put videos with Premium Modules soundtrack and every video for any of the official premium modules contains in a description an exact same link to this Offline Authenticator Generator. You can check it yourself if you wish.

So, no reasons to be suspicious about this generator. It works flawlessly and allows anyone to play any premium module without the requirement of the Internet connection.

Here, one of the videos I was talking about. Check the description to see the exact same link for the generator:
