A couple lines above the "License Holder name and Purchase Reference numbers" should be the serial number?

Humm, by the way my auto reply from idea # was 140?

[Aftermath]

this is all it has:

Dear

Please save this email and print a copy for safe-keeping as confirmation that you have purchased ArmA: Armed Assault for € 33.50

License holder: **********@**********
Purchase Reference: ***************

The title you have just purchased can be downloaded at the following url: ---- blah blah blah.

I got the download to work easily with sprocket, about midnight last night, however i NEVER RECIEVED a CD Key in an email or a page to retrive it from. I sent an email to sprocket and softwrap, but just returns your messages as it is.

Can someone tell me how they recived their key from sprocket?
I got an email from with a License Holder name and Purchase Reference, which contained the download link for my sprocket.exe, but contained no CD Key.

I recieved one email from sales@softwrap.com. Between the download link and the License Holder/Purchaser reference stuff is this line:

When you run the setup, you will be prompted to enter your ArmA serial number: XXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX

Yea, i definely dont have a CD Key in that email, anywhere. Nothing hidden, or anything. It just never got into the email i guess...

Well I'm totally burnt out trying to get this download started.

I wish I was in Aftermath's shoes (he has the download) and maybe he wishes he was in mine (I have the CD.Key)

This really sucks a whole weekend shot trying to download!!!!

I wonder if my interest in this game will override the feelings I'm having right now?

I am so close to venting *** .

I also bought a game from Sprocket and was provided with a key that works on most servers. However some servers give me the message "Invalid CD KEY" and kick me. I also cannot host lan games because of this, but as far as I know my ID is unique as I have yet to see another person with the same ID.

I've contacted Sprocket technical support and would suggest not buying this version because it seems they are selling pirated copies. I cannot say for sure that this is the case, but if I'm not the only one having this problem with Sprockets downloads then there is a good chance this is infact the case.

lol "you got mail" ring a bell? I downloaded from Sprocket and they sent my Key to me in an email. Somtimes mail like this can get stuck sitting in your bulk folder so take a good look.

There are some reported problems in another thread about the validity of these downloads and the CD KEYS that come with them. If you experience any problems please let sombody know about it. I would hate to see some company making TONS of money off other peoples hard work and breaking the game and community before it even gets off the ground

They sent me back a reply. I tried the downloader again the morning after I placed the order and it worked! The CD KEY is in the e-mail they send you after placing the order, however there may be an issue as to the validity of these keys being issued from the Sprocket website.

It seems some users such as myself are having problems connecting to some servers and hosting lan games. A message appears stating "Invalid CD KEY" with a long message that seems to vary from server to server. Some members in my clan have actually bought the physical version and have not experienced the problems some users have reported when using the Sprocket website.

Exactly, I have apparently activated FADE in both the downloaded version from morphicon, AND the German retail version, patched. I have uninstalled, and re-installed, and it's constantly activated, or something of the like. What on earth am I to do?
