Well long story short I love the game though I don't get on as much as I would like. I actually purchased two serials so that when I friend came over to play that we would have a legal way of playing on the same servers.

Well I lost that second serial that I picked up as part of a $19.99 BestBuy "C&C MultiPack".

So now I'm looking to get a reliable, not banned serial number for low cost. Since this game is pretty long in tooth I'm curious who might still have it on the shelves.

I might as well ask the question, I assume that I can't have two of my PC's running the same serial number under two different accounts playing on the same server?

An instant get like $4.99 best buy value CD or $9.99 multipack would sure be nice as I'd like to get online this week since I have some time off.

Thanks for your help!

You can have up to 9 user accounts per serial. You can have all 9 accounts being used at the same time on the same server if you wish to do so.

But to answer the question at hand, try amazon.com.

Wow a whole 30 seconds to answer my question!

BTW people looking to get legit can check out this deal:

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=6079021&type=product&id=10 64607630197

http://www.fatwallet.com/t/18/770797

Looks like the online deal is dead but a number of people have reported their local stores having stock and selling at the 9.99 price.

PS> who made the 9 user rule? EA or Renguard?

Thanks again for the quick response. My guess is that this is a very common question. Is there an FAQ this is in? If not, where can I add it for future "newbs" like me?

Thanks guys!

You can't add FAQ to the forums. Wow the question about the 9 serial numbers has been coming up a lot latley. Please use the search command to find your info next time. Since a lot of questions can be answered this way and there has already been many topics on this that has been posted already.

Sorry I tried a couple of searches without success. Unfortunately i got a ton of cheater posts about banned serials and having "multiple users" using his account and *they* were cheating.... not him/her.

Either way thanks for answering the question eve though it has come up.

Actually, you can only have 9 nicknames registered on a serial, but you can connect to XWIS with that serial as many times as you'd like. As long as the serial is not banned, there are no limits. You could have 20 nicknames owned by different serials and use them all with the same serial to connect all at the same time without a problem. And if you want to register a new name and have all your 9 used up, you can just delete a nickname you don't use anymore and register a new one.

I'm the bawss.

You can only delete it after 30 dyas, though.

I have 5 different serial numbers.
I typed /names in chat and was paged by xwis three different names that belong to me.
I used v00d00's tool and changed my serial to another one.
Then went back to chat and typed /names again. I was paged the exact same previous three nick names. I don't think it pages you the names associated with the serial.

I think it has to be serial based. Last I knew, I had about four accounts, and I misplaced my jewel case with my serials (probably in my mess of a closet). Since my PC was reformatted recently and I wanted to play Renegade, I used my brother's (since he doesn't play anymore anyway). Using my account on an installation with his serial, I just checked the /names thing in the chat and it gave me quite a few names, none of which were mine and some I recognized as alternate accounts of his, so it's got to be serial based and not account linked.


When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night, he checks his closet for Chuck Norris.

Chuck Norris is the reason why Waldo is hiding.

When Chuck Norris does a pushup, he isn’t lifting himself up, he’s pushing the Earth down.

Chuck Norris can slam a revolving door.
