i have a copy of SFC2 that i paid for. bought years ago to try and play it now.
it says invalid cd key.
in talking with my friend that also has the game, i have an invalid key on my jewel case.
mine only has 4 groupings of 4. his has 5 groupings of 4.
ideas on what i should do or how i can make my game work?
thanks,

I'm waiting for somebody to tell me this is wrong.
You have a key for SFC:OP which is a better game now that it is fully patched. You will miss out on nothing if you can get somebody to send you a copy of the SFC:OP CD so that you can use your purchased key to play OP instead.
In the past Interplay would have replaced your key next working day but that won't happen now.

A little more detail:
Interplay goofed and shipped some EAW CDs with a 4x4 CD-key pattern.
Unfortunately, EAW uses a 5x4 pattern. Orion Pirates (OP) uses the 4x4 pattern, and we believe (unless I happened to miss the post confirming) that Interplay put OP key codes on EAW cases...
Hence Cleaven's remark, of getting a (backup) copy of OP to use the legitimate OP keycode you received with your EAW disk. Unfortunately, the supplier of legitimate EAW keycodes (Interplay) is hard-to-reach these days...
The fun thing, you can download copies of the original EAW campaigns and play them on OP. I haven't played EAW single-player in ages, and haven't played EAW's D2 since the last main campaign there...
