I purchased Age of Mythology for the sole purpose of playing a friend
online.
I installed game with the product key that was provided. (The game was
purchased at Staples and is a Microsoft version.) I try to get online and
it
says that it can not validate my cd key and I need to wait a few minutes.
I
did some research on this and was told that my cd key was probably one
that
was mass produced, and that I should try to buy another copy. Which I
did.
I bought a Age of Mythology with the Titans Expansion from Gamestop, also
a
Microsoft version. I uninstalled the first version that I had and
proceeded
to install the new version of Age of Mythology and then installed the
Titans
Expansion. I still get the same message as before when I try to play
online.
CD cannot be validated please wait a few minutes. Please email me a new
product key so that I can play this game as I intended to when I bought
it.
I have spent money on 2 copies and am getting frustrated that I cannot
play
online, which was the only reason I bought the game.

I recently looked at the product keys on both of the Age of Mythology
booklets...and they are the SAME.

Other folk are finding this; have a look at the thread "Cd key cannot be
verified-Age of mythology and titans" in the group
"microsoft.public.windowsxp.games" for more discussion.

Essentially, it would appear that "All games recently sold have the same CD
key. Because of this, none of us can play online" and the verdict seems to
be to contact the publisher of your game and ask for a new key - hope you
have receipt(s) as they may ask for proof of purchase.
