Try to log into live through the game and you will get an error msg, then click try again and enter the new key. Either that or look through the registry.

Thought the GFWL key might be stored in the registry but it looks like its not.

Every time you reinstall the game it should ask for a key again. Have you tried pressing 'Home' in the game and then trying to connect to live? Hit the retry a few times and the screen to enter the key should come up. If that doesn't work, i haven't got a clue what the problem is.

actually im LIVE, becuase im playing street fight iv, and u know what happens when u want to go live if u dont have a live cd key ..

so the main reason is a old "club" cd key for unkown reason was not working anymore, and now i have a new one, but and old friend just give me a working club cd key temporally, i supoused to change it when i have anyone ..

How did you fix it? I just found this http://forums.gamesforwindows.com/t/5487.aspx

Your profile is still on your computer. If you had deleted your profile off your comp and try re-installing then it would prompt for cd-key.


Also, it looks like the keys are not being checked by a server for any games up to now and that would be the reason the keys can be used multiple times, but that could change soon.

i fixed it following this steps:
uninstall sfiv
uninstall gfwl (and everithing else with the same name)
delete containing folder on my documents (capcom)
go to control panel un hide the hiden files, then go to documents and settings->your account->local data->capcom
delete that aswell

When i was installing the game again, i put the previews new live account then i go live and it was asking me for a cd key and now it work.

But , i have a very serious question

What chance i have, that sega cancel my new cd key acquired from the trick of eth bulc when i on mp playing sf iv from reloaded?

From what i have read, it seems the keys are not even checked on a server, if thats true it would explain the reason why they can be used over and over again. I did hear someone saying there was an exception with the Halo 2 keys, i don't know if thats true though. imo M$ want to build up the amount of gamers that use GFWL so they can actually make it worth something to sell to devolopers/publishers. I have no doubt that the keys will not work forever, there is talk on the official forum about them blocking keys in the future that have been pirated.

EDIT: Pirated might be the wrong word to use, maybe abused would be more accurate.

seriously man....i can give u my ex cd key u can try it.. do not work.

2 misterious thing that happen to me are the next one:

I was registred on sega with a previous old email per example hello@hotmail.com with that email had "bought" the old cd key about i dont know 6 month..
About 3 month i was triying to login on sega with that email, and mistriously the account was deleted for unkown reason (it was imposible to login in because the page was telling me that the login/password enter appears invalid)
When i was triying to recover my account info trough my email, was impossible because my email did not exist in the database.
So... i think that is the reason why the cd key was not working anymore, but on my inbox from old email, sega do not send me any information about canceling my acccount or something..

And the second thing is the key was working on the time of gtaiv was just coming out (to october of 08 and january of 09 or something)....... when the sfiv come out it was not working anymore

So i think sega was screwing my account off grinhurt

I cant say nothing because the email do not exist anymore, i just only got the old cd key for a suvenil grinhurt

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

Sadly due to a number of people falsely claiming CD-Keys if users are unable to provide an image of their receipt we now require users to submit the image of their game with some from of identification i.e. piece of paper with their written email address on the game disk.

Please accept my apologies however this is necessary to protect users who have legally purchased ‘The Club’.


Kind Regards,

Sebastien
