In addition to what Margolis says about there being two serial numbers, if you
bought your C&C Generals Deluxe from Amazon.com there was a problem, I believe,
with a number of their boxes having invalid CD-key numbers. I understand that
Amazon.com shipped these recalled boxes by mistake. If you contact EA support
(there's anumber in the manuals) they can set you up.
