A CD key comes with each copy of and each. This 35-character alphanumeric code is used for authentication, both during installation of the game and when using the aspect of the game. The code for the base game is also used to validate. The key is entered during the game's installation and stored in the nwncdkey.ini file (if the key is accepted by the installer). When starting or joining a multiplayer game, the game's CD keys are authenticated by 's master server (if the master server is available). Furthermore, each computer connecting to the game must have its own set of CD keys. The master server has been offline since the summer of 2011, so key verification has not occurred since then.
This prevents logging in to that require master server authentication (a setting in the server's file). Otherwise, the situation is similar to what has always been the case for LAN games with no internet connection available: the authentication step is simply skipped. It can, though, take some time for the game to determine that the master server is not available if an internet connection is available. The CD key identifies the computer on which Neverwinter Nights is installed. A player may have multiple CD keys (from purchasing the game multiple times, for use on multiple computers), and a single CD key may be used by multiple players (who are sharing a single computer).
A single CD key may not, however, be used on multiple computers. (In theory a single computer could have multiple CD keys, but the game has an internal check that prevents more than one instance of the game from running at any given time, so this question is academic.) As an exception to the 'one computer' rule, copies of the game purchased from GoG.com all come with the same CD key (a consequence of GoG.com removing copy protection from all games they sell). This causes no problems in single-player, but can be a problem in multiplayer.
Neverwinter Nights 2. CD KEY FOR MULTIPLAYER I wanted to play nwn2 in multi mode. I tried to log in and it says 'CD KEY UNREGISTERED'. I red some faq and forum.
For those wishing to use Neverwinter Nights for multiplayer, GoG.com will issue unique CD keys to their customers who request them. Public CD key CD keys are private, not to be shared with others. However, there is a shortened form of the key, called the public CD key, which is transmitted to the host of a multiplayer game and which can be obtained with the command (). This shortened form is an 8-character code composed of alternating characters in the CD key, starting with the second and ending with the sixteenth. For example: CD-key: 12345 - 67890 - ABCDE - FGHIJ - KLMNO - PQRST - UVWXY Public key: 2 4 6 8 0 B D F References •.
Here is the way to do it (its not obvious at all!) On GOG.com (GOG Galaxy wont work to find the serial keys) go to GOG.com, click on ACCOUNT. Then click on LIBRARY. Now click the arrow below Neverwinter Nights 2 Complete - select DOWNLOADS In Downloads, click on the MORE arrow button then select SERIAL KEYS.
Copy and Paste the serial keys into the Multiplayer Keys window. When you paste then, check the END of each CD-KEY for spaces and remove any empty spaces at the beginning or end - spaces will cause your BUTTONS TO BE DISABLED because it sees them as invalid serial keys (this is stupid in my opinion). If all the cd-keys are valid, the buttons will be enabled. If any spaces are in ANY of the cd-keys or any of the cd-keys are invalid in any way the buttons will not be enabled. Rhiyo: You will need to change your cd-key if you are playing multiplayer either on LAN or the internet.
Your multiplayer CD-Keys are stored in your owned games list, click on Neverwinter Nights 2, and they are listed under 'My serial number:' To manually change your CD-Key, go to where your Neverwinter Nights 2 was installed and open 'nwncdkey.ini' it will looking something like this (Obviously I have changed the keys to 0's): [CDKEY] Key1=0-0-0-00000 //This is your base Neverwinter Nights 2 cd-key Key2=0-0-0-00000 //Mask of the Betrayer key Key3=0-0-0-00000 //Storm of Zehir key Replace the keys here with the corresponding keys in your GOG owned games list. I've yet to install the GOG version as I am waiting for the Mysteries of Westgate DLC to be fixed first, but I hear there is a program that you can enter your keys in to change them for you instead, this would probably in your install folder or under start menu under something like I'm having this problem also, however this solution doesn't work because we are only provided with one CD Key. If we enter it three times, we'll get an unauthorized CD key error when connecting to a server.
