License Issues

[SamHMMA]

Hi,

 

I've been playing WMMA5 for about 2 years now (a lot), using various mods etc on the game. I noticed a recent mod would crash after 5 mins of playing, and had a pop up everytime i Started the game telling me there was a new patch available. I tried downloading this new patch, however now when I go to download then open the game I get told to put a licensing key in. I use my email and I'm told that email doesn't have a licensing key for this game (even though I bought it years ago and played it weekly since). This would have been the only email I would have used - any obvious fix I'm missing?

Yes, you've downloaded the wrong patch - you need to download the one that matches your license type, which will either be Elicense or QLM. If you've had the game for 2 years, then you're almost certainly an Elicense user and need to use that type of patch.

If you're not clear on what license you have, see the first paragraph of the pinned licensing FAQ.
