WSE CD Key Requirement? (Fixed)

[Zelkova1224]

I'm trying to play a mod that requires the use of WSE but it keeps asking for a CD Key. I have the steam version of the game. I've followed the Installation tutorial to the letter for WSE for the Steam ver. and still ask for it. Can anyone help?

Is your WSE up to date?

Yes, I've tried both the files in Warsword and the up to date files.

Can you post in that thread and notify the mod developer about this? This is a problem with WSE unfortunately.

I looked around and discovered that there is a way on taleworlds offical site to convert my key from a 5x5 key to a 4x4. Thanks for your attempt to help.

Standard serial keys are 4x4 so I assumed it was 4x4.

Yeah I got Warband back in 2010 so maybe that's the reason why its 5x5.

I have encountered a similar problem. Tried to run a mod, did not work at all and since you are required to run a specific .exe the activation menu showed up. Activation denied, even with manual activation method.

Then I got curious what the problem is and tried to run the native .exe. Never had to activate anything when running the game from Steam, but I actually never tried to run the game without it. Of course the activation panel shows up and denies the activation promptly.

In both cases the actual key was already there, so I only needed to press activate. Deactivating everything remotely securitywise, running as admin, nothing works.

Any ideas? Have I missed something?
