Invalid CD-Key
I got my QUAKE 3 ARENA from Steam and the game tells me the CD-Key is invalid.

This can't be i got it from the store.

If your Quake Setup has run propperly your CD-Key is already filled in propperly. And its invaild.

As a experienced User you are going to copy the serial number again from the menu ... and its invaild.
Solution
Quake accepts serial numbers only at lowercase.

Format your Key from XXXXX to xxxxx and you are fine.

Your CD-Key is now vaild.
