My Code Is Invalid.

Simburgur · 05-09-2008, 08:13 AM

Ok, my GE code will not let me link to my spore.com account. it said its invalid.

I checked in the registry and i did enter the code correctly.

This is unnaceptable. Fix it EA.

Clawi · 05-09-2008, 08:25 AM

im getting exactly the same thing, i just came on here, picked a user name and then iv tried registering again and im getting a mixture of responses. one is the "invalid key" one and the other says that i dont have the correct "spore.com" privelages.

MCLarge52 · 05-09-2008, 08:31 AM

lots of people are getting the same thing, including me

tabloidjunky · 05-09-2008, 08:36 AM

Me too, glad I'm not the only one, I've almost played through spore, just to the space stage, but with the stock creatures I see same thing allot....

MCLarge52 · 05-09-2008, 08:44 AM

Its so annoying, the only creatures i see are maxis or the ones i created in the creature creator months ago

Dan78 · 05-09-2008, 09:07 AM

The same applies to me, it says my code is 'invalid'.

Lazerus101 · 05-09-2008, 09:19 AM

I am getting the exact same error. Rather annoyed that I paid a premium to get such shoddy service. Starting to get tired of seeing all the same creatures in game.

Murwing · 05-09-2008, 09:19 AM

Same here, hoping they fix this soon.

Does anyone have the standard edition? They all seem to be GE edition problems...

hengli · 05-09-2008, 09:29 AM

I'm having the same issue, GE edition...

First I couldn't even start the game, then I couldn't connect and now I can't activate it. Nice start!

What happens if I play in offline mode first and have it activated later? Will I have to start over in order to get the user-made content or... ?

CaptainRAVE · 05-09-2008, 09:31 AM

Same problem here with the Galactic Edition!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thonohuil · 05-09-2008, 09:33 AM

I have exactly the same problem except i have standard edition! whats going on EA??

Jeters · 05-09-2008, 09:35 AM

I'm getting this problem with the regular edition direct 2 drive version.

I can play offline but presumably if i can't login soon the game will not be able to authenticate and will not work.

Studdart · 05-09-2008, 09:47 AM

I believe I'm having the same problem, I can bootup the game, and it works, but I can't login, when I login, goes through the motions warns me that It will link the game to my account, but then it says that the "Installation Code is Invalid".

This is with the GE, BTW, not that, that probably matters anyway, as it's probably the exact same game disc.

Think about it, if you typed the cd-key wrong the install wouldn't even start. So tearing through the registry wasn't necessary.

wurge · 05-09-2008, 10:13 AM

Same here. UK, GE and ****ing ****ed off

SlammerUK · 05-09-2008, 10:19 AM

EA Download manager, standard edition, invalid registration.

Grrrreat

Rakkeh · 05-09-2008, 10:22 AM

UK, Galactic Edition.... getting invalid key message :/

T0nedude · 05-09-2008, 10:44 AM

I get the same problem when I try to create a new account, because I can't use the one I created when I registered the creature creator! (GE edition here, although I don't think that matters).

This sort of ineptitude and unprofessionalism is unforgiveable.

Tony.

Testbug · 05-09-2008, 10:47 AM

Unable to log on, GE.

CaptainRAVE · 05-09-2008, 10:50 AM

Well this sucks...but at least we are not alone...most people seem to be having the problem. A time frame or more information would be great though. Because currently we have no idea about anything...

ihutch0 · 05-09-2008, 11:29 AM

Time to add my name to teh growing list

I also have the GE and the same "Installation code is invalid"

anomaly · 05-09-2008, 11:55 AM

Same thing here, standard edition, EA downloader. And to make matters worse, 4 days and no response from EA on the subject or any other questions I have. God damned they're hopeless.

McNum · 05-09-2008, 12:10 PM

Yup, Galactic Edition user here in Denmark. No go.

"Invalid key" and "Wrong spore.com privileges" here.

I suppose those two DVDs were included for a reason. To watch while we wait for the game to start working.

Ashmo · 05-09-2008, 12:54 PM

Same problem here (GE user).

Installation went as expected, even got the game before the official release (Seplalala, Germany).

EADM logs me in as usual, my account works as expected, but when it tries to link the Spore installation when trying to log in via Spore, it tells me my code is invalid -- which is nonsense.

Yes, I have double- and triple-checked my license key upon installation. Yes, I already have an EA account (from Spore Creature Creator, FULL version btw). Yes, I know *** I'm doing. Yes, I'm connected to the internet. Yes, it really is a problem with SPORE.

This is highly unprofessional. Especially considering that EA is not just an indie dev house, but maybe THE largest game publisher out there.

Tech staff, take notice.
