I have a problem...

[Crius]

I just recently got my family playing warcraft 3 finally, it's been great playing melee on lan but today we decided we would like to play battle.net. We have 3 different CD keys, 1 is and has always been installed on my computer and works fine. 1 has been installed on my Dad's and sister's computer. I was going through some old computer junk that I had in a drawer and found an old long lost copy that has only been used on my old laptop. I uninstalled the one on my sister's computer and put the new one on their instead so that we could all play on b.net. But when they try to go on it says that they are using the same CD key. We uninstalled wc on my dad's and sister's computer and reinstalled it with each computer's repective copy but it still says they are using the same cd key. Why is this? How can I get all of us online at once?

I assume you made sure you weren't using either CD key on your computer?
There's also a small chance your old key was stolen.
There are also CD keys that work for installing, but not Bnet. I remember using all 0s or 1234 repeated to install SC and WC3 for LAN use.

 

[Crius]

Neither CD key is being used on my computer.
I don't think it was stolen because the error it gives is something along the lines of "dad's name is playing the game," if my sister trys to get in when he's on and vice versa.
Finally the CD key that I used for my sister is legit, it's the one stickered to the outside of the cd case.

I'm not entirely sure but i think it may have something to do with my dad's copy being installed on my sister's computer before I found my old one and uninstalled my dad's copy on her computer.

Maybe there are registry remnants of the old installation, try checking that. If, however, you do not know how or you're not entirely sure of what you're doing, don't tamper with the registry and ask Blizzard instead.

You need a unique key for both Rain of Chaos and The Frozen Throne when playing The Frozen Throne on battlenet. It logs in using both CD Keys so you will be blocked from logging in if either are in use.

I wish that were it, I uninstalled the game entirely though which means I had to reinstall roc and tft.

 

[Dr Super Good]

So you do not share both a RoC and a TFT key? If any one of them is in common you will not be able to play at the same time on the same server.

 

[Crius]

None of they keys are being shared.

 

[Dr Super Good]

One of them has to be shared as it will not say the person you know is using it otherwise.
