yes definately won't be the last, cuz i have the same problem. i just bought the game and this copy protection system thing comes up when i try to start it, it tells me disc identification error, then it gives me an option to enter the disc key...but where is this key?

wow, ok the report.txt file says "Can't Collect Information" under every single category. why is it doin't this?

Ok, firstly....

Are you sure that you have the 2nd CD in the CDrom? The first CD will also give disk identification errors.

There are some programs that is known to cause problems with the identification... Notrton Anti virus and Deamon tools... if you have any of these 2 installed on your computer, please close the programs (out of your system tray aswell) before you try to run the game.

If you have 2 CD rom drives, try the disk in the other CD rom and see if it gives the same problem.

If none of these sort out the protection error

If the report.txt have any areas marked "could not collect information" dont be stressed by this.... save that report.txt file and email it to support@larian.com along with a discription of the problem... They will issue a Key (the key you are looking for) according to the hardware of your computer.

This key is not compulsory... its a backup to the protection on the disk. In some cases where there are problems with the protection, they will issue the key, forcing the protection to accept your disk, whether it passes the protection check or not... But please note that this is hardware specific, something as small as changing your mouse will cause it not to accept the code anymore.

Hope this helps <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Do you have administrative rights with the login you are installing the game with ?

yes, i've tried everything both you two have mentioned. thx for the help but it still doesn't work. i guess i will e-mail them the report file.

Has anyone figured out what to do about the apparently MIA CD KEY for Beyond Divinity? I bought this game for [color:red] [/color] [color:red] [/color] my son for Christmas and he STILL hasn't been able to play it, please help if anyone has any info. Thanks [color:red] [/color]

For the protection system to work, you need to insert the CD labeled "Disc Two" (or "Game CD") and then start the game.

Before doing so, you may want to shut down programs that are known to cause protection failure, such as Norton Antivirus and Daemon Tools.

Also, if you have more than one CD or DVD drive, the protection might require you to insert the CD in the other device.

If the protection check still fails, click the "information" button and mail the generated report to our support team: support@larian.com
