CD-Key bug if you have multiple computers that you play with

[Cobra]

Found a funny bug in the game now with cd-key

I have 3 gamer computer at my house and i run servers at home an at my internettprovider.
One of the computers i have as spectater at my web provider, becase i play there or in my own server on lan.
And before it was no problem for me to have 2 computers to the same server with the same CD-Key.
But now i care about it some times and not allways.
Havent found out the trigger that makes it say that the cd-key are in use yet.

But the funny part here is that the computer i allredy had in that server got Disconnected from the server with CD-Key in use.
And that Computer had been in that server for some ours.

And now i cant log intp any server at all.
Becase it says that my CD-Key are in use.
But i actualy gets kicked from the server becase of the cd-key that i have used for the last our in that server.

Honestly man, I know you are aware you can only legally run one game per key. But beyond that, its possible, with the new patch assigning user ID's to a game key, that when it was found the key was already in use that the key itself was disabled by the master server. So you may want to try and give the IW or Activision help line a buzz and explain your situation. It sounds like they may have to assign you a new key.

He's right about that. You can only have ONE computer running the game per cd or (cd-key).

If you're running a server on one and play on the other. Make sure that the one that is serving is running in "dedicated mode".

I can say that you can play on same server with same Key, and have seen 3 computers using same key play at the same time.

yes that is how i have been doing it.
I only use more than one computer in a server when i am setting them in spec so it looks like it is people in the server and people start to come into the server and wow i get a full server again in a short time.

But like it is now i have a bit of a problem with this. hehe.

And the strange thing is that when it happens all my computers get that the key are in use even when i have them all in the same server. So i cant connect to any other server for some time exept for my Servers i have at home becase it dont use the key on Lan.
