i have a fully legit copy of command and conquer: red alert 3 but because of my changing of OS's its now telling me i may as well throw my copy away and get a new one because my key has been entered on too many machines ... even though its been the same hardware every single time iv'e installed it again.

Is they're a chance EA will sort this or may I as well throw the disc away and admit iv'e been ripped off?

talk about getting bummed ...

UPDATE: iv'e cracked the game so it still sort of works, but still I can't go online now grrrr.

You are doing it wrong, you need to properly uninstall the patched version in order to remove the computer from the activation list.

Contact EA and explain it all to them, they will sort it out.

The 1.05 patch provided users the ability to de-authorize the game in the game settings menu.
