Grand Theft Auto: IV and GTA:EFLC CDKEY Problems [FIXED] 11/8/12

[MountainEden]

I'm not a Steam employee. Just a regular Steam customer. I have found the fix to the CDKEY problem to both Grand Theft Auto Four and Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City. This is only for when you have to log in to Windows Live Games to verify the code and it keeps telling you it's the wrong key. That key is only a redeem code. Now here is a small tutorial on how to fix this.

1. Get that Redeem code and go to ( https://live.xbox.com/en-US/RedeemCode?xr=socialmenav ) or you can just go to Xbox.com and click Redeem Code. Paste your code in there.
You will get a message saying Code has been redeemed.
----Great, now you have access to the REAL activation code for the game----

2. Now open up your start menu on your computer and click search. Now Search for Games for Windows Market place. A lot of people probably have never heard about this program but it should come installed already on your PC (I'm sure about Windows 8 but not other Operating Systems lower). It will probably ask you to update it, just go ahead and follow up.

3. After that's done, log in. Click Downloads and you will see either game or both games in there. Now all you have to do is click on it.

4. After clicking it you will see something that says 'View Game Keys'. Click that and you will get the official activation code for your game. Copy it.

5. Open up your game (GTA/GTA:EFLC) and when it asks you to log in, go ahead. After that it will ask you for the code, just go ahead and paste it on there.

Game will be validated and you can now log in and save your game with no issue.

I found out how to do this by searching up numerous places and I am now sharing with all of you. Hope this helps. I know it's very frustrating. If you still don't know how to do this, feel free to send me a message and I will try to help you as detailed as possible. Good luck to all of you.

aew, folks!
I'm crappy vulture can only!
I had this very same problem of activation by live, then tried the solution ativart the cd-key for the "live" and gave error, gave me the following error in live tava not recognizing the serial, then the market place had a ♥♥♥♥ !
Then I went to try another solution to link the accounts by socia rockstar club, and only guess what!
♥♥♥♥ page link accounts simply will not charge!
I've tried Firefox, Chrome and even in Explorer, but when I click "linked accounts" A little clock appears, as if loading and after a few minutes, the little clock just FREEZE!

I recently bought gta IV from steam, everything is okay with the game but only 3 problems, the first one is:
I type the activation code that given from steam in-game when it asks the key, it says that its not valid. I'm definetly sure that I'm typing the code true. The second problem is,
I updated games for Windows live, it works but iit says ''there was an erorr retrieveing your purchase history, please sign out and try again later.'' I just dont know why.
And the last one is;
I logged in to Xbox.com then redeem a code, just copied the cd key steam has given me, and pasted it there. It doesnt say its not valid, but it gives an error, try again later and blah blah blah. I hope you understand me, and happy new year!
