Need a new product key for Age of Mythology & the Titans Expansion
Carrie
I installed game with the product key that was provided. (The game was
purchased at Staples and is a Microsoft version.) I try to get online and it
says that it can not validate my cd key and I need to wait a few minutes. I
did some research on this and was told that my cd key was probably one that
was mass produced, and that I should try to buy another copy. Which I did.
I bought a Age of Mythology with the Titans Expansion from Gamestop, also a
Microsoft version. I uninstalled the first version that I had and proceeded
to install the new version of Age of Mythology and then installed the Titans
Expansion. I still get the same message as before when I try to play online.
CD cannot be validated please wait a few minutes. Please email me a new
product key so that I can play this game as I intended to when I bought it.
I have spent money on 2 copies and am getting frustrated that I cannot play
online, which was the only reason I bought the game.
I recently looked at the product keys on both of the Age of Mythology
booklets...and they are the SAME.

Other folk are finding this; have a look at the thread "Cd key cannot be
verified-Age of mythology and titans" in the group
"microsoft.public.windowsxp.games" for more discussion.
Essentially, it would appear that "All games recently sold have the same CD
key. Because of this, none of us can play online" and the verdict seems to
be to contact the publisher of your game and ask for a new key - hope you
have receipt(s) as they may ask for proof of purchase.

of the problem but they can't give another cd key - they advised me to take
contact with Microsoft. Then I tried to do that and then they asked for the
PID code. When you enter this code you get the message : the two free
supports are used and you have to pay ....
So I gave Up (these are the services of Ubisoft en Microsoft).

yesterday, and the cd-key couldn't be validated. Assuming that someone was
already using the key illegally, I exchanged it at Wal-Mart for the exact
same thing.
Turns out that one had the same key.
So what now? Am I out the cost of the game? Microsoft phone support says
that they don't support that game anymore. They directed me to email
support, so I used the url on the back of the game for Microsoft Support, and
guess what? I can't find Age of Mythology on there.

You are a victim of the mass-produced CD key fore mentioned.
This is simply a CD key which, for reasons unknown, has been produced many
times.
You need to contact Ubisoft and get a new CD key from them, but you may have
to give proof of purchase (receipt, essentially)

'Age of Mythology' seems to have been republished with the same
identical Product-key supplied in every box sold, leading to
problems when trying to connect to and play multi-player on the
online-servers.
Directions on how to proceed for the various re-publishers,
/Ubisoft/ - /Xplosive/ - /Valuesoft/ , can be found at the forums
of the 'Age of Mythology Heaven' website:
