Problem with installation key

Post » Sat Jul 14, 2012 5:13 pm

Hi.

I've registered on these forums for the soul purpose to sort out an annoying issue.

I've come to play Fallout 3 again today. It installed fine as usual, installed the DLC I own and when it comes to inputting my CD key into Windows Live it says I've installed it to many times and I have to buy a new cd key. I think not somehow !

So how do I go about having my installations/key reset ? I'm in the UK.

Thanks in advance :)

Do you allready have a GFWL account ? (Live ID) If so , just select "use existing profile"

Also maybe you need to install the latest client of GFWL found here >>> http://www.xbox.com/en-US/live/pc/downloadclient

Hi,

I've ticked the "use existing profile", entered my details + cd key and that's when it comes up saying I've used all of my allowed installations. Please by another copy :/

I have figured a way around it though. I've used a serial key from GTA IV and it worked but it's left me wondering if I can't actually use the original key that came with Fallout 3.

Does Microsoft have to reset it ? God I hate DRM :/

Buy another copy ? Copy of what ?

LOL ... those bass turds.

Are they saying you have to many games on your existing user account?

Hmmm ... would create new profile have worked in this case?

Edit to add: Im sorry , sounds like you have more experience with GFWL than me. :blush:
