This is Frustrating

I installed Dawn of War 2 just fine.

It needed Games For Windows Live to work.

But....

before I can so much as play the BETA I need a CD key

I searched Forums, scoured the entire Internet

My CD key should be linked to my Dawn of War SoulStorm copy that I bought on Steam.

....The problem is: the Key requested by live is in the form:

*****-*****-*****-*****-*****

but my CD key for Soulstorm is in the form:

****-****-****-****-****

None of the forums even touched on this problem!?

I entered in my code many times and it hasn't worked yet.

How do I know its my CD Key?

1) I checked with my handy program called: Product Key Explorer

2) Start>Run>regedit and found the CD Key by mouse and keyboard

*) The CD Keys were identical

Either one of you knows about some super secret way to avoid logging into Windows Live to play the Beta or there are quite a few Trolls on those DoW 2 BETA forums.

My guess is the latter.

Anyway, if no one has any advice or kind words to subdo my anger atleast tell me if DoW 2 BETA is any good, worth buying, like Company of Heroes...

Or anything like that.

I suppose I can wait 4 days for the open BETA... if nothing else.

BTW Open BETA for Dawn of War 2 is 01/28/2009

Once you install it, it should pop up a window saying "This is your multiplayer code, you will need this to play online so write it down" or something, that is the code which you use to play in the DoW2 beta not the SS code. If you didn't get one or missed it or whatever I am not sure how to get it back.

@Darmi: I reinstalled Soulstorm, and I didn't see a CD key.
I found that other people had the same problem as me. I suppose I can wait 3 more days for the open Beta.
It seems to be the only solution to this problem.

This is really odd .. I installed and played DoW2 beta without entering any cd-key .. btw.. whats your steam tag?

To get the cd-key for dow2 beta to pop up again, i think you need to delete the beta and reinstall it.
