i don't think you can complete the install process without entering a cd key, so you most likely did something wrong.

I just installed with no problems at all. It was the download version. All it asked me was to insert disk one of BF2 and the rest took care of itself.

I was never given a CD key or a chance to type it in anywhere plus I was all logged in to EA downloader with my account so they already know that i bought the game since they let me DL it.
Again a EA mess up ..
whats the ea support help page oh yeah I have that one memorized . .   :-(

I never had to type in anything either. I also did not recieve any type of key. I just worked. Don't worry there are no servers anyway. By the way we can't play BF2 either because we have the newer version. Man I am so glad I downloaded it. lol

First to have it but nobody to play with. Too funny...

Only thing I can think of is when it asks you that click ok if you have not already or pop out the disk and reinsert it and see if it will  recognize it then. I am sure you tried this but in case you did not I am just trying to help.

No surprise there, when a game goes live there are always a few critical bugs found that were not caught on the test servers and you can't update cd's that have already been shipped around the world.  Just be patient and everything will be up and running at some point this week.

As to other problems such as CD keys etc, I couldn't even begin to tell ya

here is a message a email i got from EA games about my problem . .


Hello Trouble_Sab,

We have discovered an installation problem with a limited number
of EA customers who downloaded Battlefield 2: Special Forces. 
Unfortunately your account is one of those affected.  If you try
to install Battlefield 2: Special Forces, you will see the error
message, "BF2CDKeyCheck.exe has encountered a problem and needs to
close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience."

We apologize for the problem and are working quickly to resolve it. 
We expect to send you a follow-up email later today with a solution.

Please stay tuned,

The EA team
