			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Ah I remember this , you have to contact EA games, and tell them the issue on their help forums ( sounds like a pain in the a$$, but its pretty simple once you attempt )<br />In my case I bought mine online and the key was no good, they reset me to a skeleton key , and all is fine.<br />3 downloads = 2 bad keys , thats about the ratio.</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Hello, I&#039;m new here to the community, and just downloaded the mod along with v1.3.&nbsp; Everything installed just fine, and loaded up great.&nbsp; However, when finding a server (only one showed up) and trying to connect to it, it states &quot;invalid cd key&quot; in a popup.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know how this could be so.&nbsp; I&#039;ve had 2142 since its pre-release back in 2006, and it&#039;s the same one i&#039;ve been playing on the entire time.&nbsp; Any help/advice would be great, I really want to play this.</p>]]></content>
