Hello

i bought yesterday Arma2 and tried out DayZ. After a disconnect from the server i wasn't able to join any server again because my CD-Key was in use...

Today i could join a game again played about 20 minutes.. quit to look something up and now again since 1h the CD-Key is in use.

Anyone else got such problems?

I found entries in different forums and ultimately got pointed there:

I wonder how they respond..

Halfway.. i used the Tool and inserted my key but not elevated. Because usually such a tool should request an elevation prompt when it needs ;).

I run it elevated and it seems that does the trick.

Would be good if u make a note below the key for that fact.

Thx :)

I have the same problem and I followed the support article. But where I can get this "cd key changer application" ? Sorry if missed something.

It should be in the game folder or as a shortcut in Start Menu.

I am having the same CD Key in use issue, among other odd things.

I logged into another server earlier to find myself in possession of all this equipment I had never picked up, and already bleeding out. I am pretty sure I was logged in under someone else, so it's a possibility GOG gave me someone else's CD Key or vice-versa.

Did you use unique key from your account? Because that sounds like you tried playing on default one.

Yessir, I read that online as a possible fix. I have tried entering the serial key I received from GOG in the Serial Key Changer application and the problem seems to persist still. Even after 2 restarts and reentry of serial information I still receive notice that my CD Key is in use.

And are you running Key Changer as administrator? Otherwise no registry changes will be made.
Another thing, could you go to your profile in game and PM me your player ID? It depends on serial key and will tell me if you're still on default key.
