"Your Game is Not Registered"

[The Almighty Turtle]

Right. I remember playing this game's precursor's demo (back when you just had the Battle of Britain RAF campaign), and I have had this game for years. Unfortunately a phishing attack resulted in me basically having to burn my computer down to save it and swapping out a new hard drive, which has caused some issues.

On the grand scale this is a minor one. When I launch, the game tells me my copy is not registered (.... in spite of plugging in the serial key), and demanding I log in. Which unfortunately leads to a popup with a dead website.

This is minor because it's very easy to cheese, since you just pop in to the options and click "Save and Play." Which kicks you in to the game (and short circuits the game), but it'd be nice for some remedy.
