Did you try leaving off the first digit? I don't have my manual with me here at work, so I don't know what the format is... but since you're saying all the number blocks have the right number of digits except for the first one, I would try leaving out the first number of the first block.

My key is also 12345-1234-1234-123. It works though. Seems like these are the 3rd printing keys.

Try entering the key without using the numblock. Some time ago I used 123 as password and I *think* I had similar problems when entering it using the numblock.

Besides you don't want to play in a MP game with a pirated key since the keys are checked Online from time to time.

weird i did install the patch 2.06 & 2.08 then launched the game which asked me again for cdkey.

I tried again with my 12345-1234-1234-123 cdkey and that time it was accepted !

Hope its good now and i have the game installed with MY cd key

Thanks for your help
Now i have to learn the game

In your dominions folder there is a file named key, without extension, that contains the key. I think you can modify it using a text editor and that you don't need to reinstall the soft if you entered a warez key. This is not tested, so I may be wrong. But I did not saw any registry enteries containing the key, so that must be the file.

i checked and its ok now. The game accepted my cdkey when and only when i patched it
