argh activation

[Soladad]

I still can't activate this game! 2K must of gave me a bad serial number

[0n3$h0t0n3ki11]

happend to me too i tried all different things but then i hit manual activation , typed a few numbers with dashes waited a little bit (cause i was on a website trying to figure out whats wrong) , then i hit back and entered the serial number again with all caps and dashes (like i did previously when it didnt work) then all of a sudden it worked!! hope this helps (and dont give up keep trying!)

it's absolutely unacceptable that so many people are experiencing this problem. This is perfect storm of terrible copy protection.

IT worked on my next attempt after I typed that. Go figure.

Activation process has been terminated. Please make sure the SERIAL NUMBER has been entered correctly.
Press BACK to attempt another activation, click MANUAL ACTIVATION to activate manually or press CANCEL to abort. If the problem persists please contact mailto:support@securom.com.

The SERIAL NUMBER was not found in the database. Most likely the SERIAL NUMBER has been entered incorrectly.

this is so sad

Worked for me w/o a hitch. I'm sure you guys are typing in everything correctly, but that seems like the only way for it to go bad. Of course, it could be a generic error if the activation server was too busy (and they didn't program a message in that says "it's too busy now, try again in a few minutes" -- but that seems weird...though plausible).

All anybody could say is make sure you have it exactly as it is on the back of the instruction manual, dashes, caps and all. Make sure the 0's are zeroes not letters.

Here's hoping it's just a generic error message for when it can't connect for whatever reason and you guys will be up and playing within the next couple hours!

hmm is there two numbers in the very last set of numbers? because every other set has only one number in it, and I got a 0 and O

I tried switching it up, but that doesn't help

[ahrel]

one number in each set on my code. but usually they don't have letter O's and number 0's. They will do only zeroes in serial numbers (so as not to have any confusion). At least thats the way I thought serial numbers were done, no I's either, just 1's. Every serial number I can look at right now is that way if its a mixed number/letter code.

.... I have checked, double checked.. and then triple checked my act code.. and it's correct. What is the deal???
