Sudden CD Key Version Change?

[Falcus]

WTF? So, I was happily playing my trainz yesterday, no issues, Downloading like normal.... Then today I go to DL stuff manually into CM, and I get "Please Start the Trainz Launcher and Enter a Valid CD-Key"? So, even though I have one, bought one, I now can't use the one I've been on for almost 2 years? So alright I says, I open up Launcher and look at the CD Key, and I see that..... Version 61349? huh? The Launcher even says 61388..... When, or better yet, HOW did that happen? I'm assuming this is whats causing my issue, but I really don't know. Whatever the case, anyone have any ideas how to fix this?


Any help's appreciated,
Falcus

The version shown under Options is the content build, not the game build.

Means it's shows the Raw build before the patches as mine is the same, reads 61349 and on the launcher 61388.

Cheers.

That's virtually the case, although I do know that that's also the base content build (version) rather than the code build which is what the number on the Launcher is.

Digital original Install of 46957 shows 46956 in product key, Build 49922 on launcher.
Digital original install of 46957 patched to SP1 shows 61349 in product key and Build 61388 on Launcher.
Disk Original install of 47772 patched to SP1 shows build 61349 in product key, Build 61388 on launcher.

46956 is the original base content build.
61349 is the content update for SP1, current actual build 61388.

Weird, but i'll take it i guess. Any advice on why I keep getting "Invalid Serial #" Errors?

Are you trying to add addon serials?

If you have registered, you can copy and paste the serial number from SimulatorCentral or Planet Auran, depending upon where your serial number is stored. This is much easier than trying to retype the numbers and letters which can get confusing, as you know, with zeros and o's.

Usually this issue is due to a corrupt database, and I suggest trying a Extended Database Repair (EDR). You may still need to enter in registration numbers, etc. anyway, but just losing your serial number is not a good thing.

No, my serial on the whole still works. Its just a few new CDPs that seem to be flagging this issue. I'll try a DBR tonight and see if that doesn't fix it.

@Shane,
Nope, just trying to add an asset I Dl'd FTP Off the Black Pages.

If that's the case, you shouldn't need to add any new serial numbers apart from your TS12 one.
