This is for BOTH the Age of Mythology game PLUS its Expansion Pack for $4.99... not just the expansion pack!

IMPORTANT NOTICE: VALUSOFT & UBISOFT SHIPPED SAME CD KEYS WITH "AOM: THE TITANS"!

Are you getting this error every time you try and play "AOM: The Titans" on ESO: "Your CD key cannot currently be validated. Please wait for a few minutes and try again."? VALUSOFT & UBISOFT ARE SHIPPING ALL COPIES OF "AOM: THE TITANS" WITH THE SAME CD KEY! THIS MAKES ALL VALUSOFT & UBISOFT COPIES OF "AOM: THE TITANS" UNPLAYABLE ON ESO DUE TO SIMULTANEOUS USE OF MULTIPLE IDENTICAL KEYS (although all the other functions of the game still works).

Luckily... someone before me figured this problem out and posted a solution here:

It was brought to our attention a few months ago that every new version of AoM:Gold Edition had the same CD key, so you couldn't go online. Now the problem has been solved!

Thank you for your patience. We recently received the New Product ID Codes from Microsoft. In order to ensure you receive the proper key please provide us with the P/N (#####) from the front of the Age Of Mythology CD. Once we receive your information we will Mail you your new Product ID Code. You will need to Uninstall and Reinstall the Game when you receive the New Product ID Code to be able to enter the New Product ID Code. Please provide us with:

- The P/N (#####/1) from the front of the CD

- Your Full Name and Mailing Address

Send an email to Valusoft Support including this message, and the information request above to receive your new key.

NOTE: The information above is relevant for ALL ValuSoft distributed "AOM: The Titans" games... NOT UBISOFT! To get a UNIQUE PRODUCT ID KEY for an UBISOFT distributed game, you will have to contact THEIR technical support department and follow THEIR instructions. You can find out which company distributed your game by looking at the back cover of the included manual.

EDIT3: After contacting ValuSoft and explaining the situation, I followed their instructions and went through their procedure for getting NEW, NON-UNIFORM, UNIQUE Product ID Keys, and waited for a week for the NEW Product ID Keys to arrive. I then uninstalled, and reinstalled AOM and its expansion with the NEW Product ID Keys ValuSoft sent me, and now Multiplayer on ESO works perfectly. No more "Your CD key cannot currently be validated. Please wait for a few minutes and try again." error! Although I am still ticked at the hassle I had to go through in order to get what I rightfully paid for (ie: a fully functioning game... INCLUDING multiplayer on ESO), at least it's 100% WORKING game now. Hope everyone else gets this problem resolved successfully, like I did!
