Hey there... There is a chance if your key has a 1 or l it could look the same ingame. Try switching those to 1 (one) or the letter l.

Also try everything lowercase too.

Is your setup all as you left it? if so then would deleting the config file fix this? that way the game would re write the config and you could just re enter the Reg Key.
BUT before that just make sure your key is correct as jon said :lol:

"This key looks bad" always means you have a typo in the key.
