Can't get OOTP to run - License problem

Prodigal Son · 05-29-2006, 04:35 PM

I'm trying to install my OOTP 6 and 6.5 on another computer of mine. I installed both games, then went to play 6.5 and it asked for my license. Cool. I started 6.5 on my other comp and copied my license over, and it was accepted. Then it said I couldn't play it because I didn't have a copy of v6 registered. So I repeated the same process for v6 and...denied. Error 501. And I noticed that the license on my v6 is the same as v6.5, which doesn't seem right. Any help is appreciated.

Nevermind. There was a receipt.txt file in the 6.0 directory that had the order ID, now everything is working.
