The issue you are experiencing has to do with your 1.69 key with EE, I imagine?

You purchased the game through either Steam or Beamdog?

And, you followed the steps to link your EE key to your 1.69 accounts?

Just remember that the Arelith server is not up to date to the current Beamdog version. So if you updated, that might be why you are experiencing issues.

I’d have to experiment with my own version to see what I generate as an error.

You have to use your EE public cd-key

Your EE-cd key is found in My Documents/Neverwinter Nights (this is the one you bought from beamdog)


Your 1.69 cd-key (the one you don't want to use) is found in your 1.69 NWN installation folder (this is the one you had for years either through GoG or cds)

I'm having the same problem

I'm getting CD Key auth denied message now when I try to log in with my main screenname. It was just working the other day
Only thing I changed was I followed the instructions to copy my regulith key file into the EE folder and then updated the clients. And also deleted my username in the ini so it would prompt me to enter it (so I could switch usernames to port over my characters per the instructions)

But removing the regulith keyfile from the folder makes no difference, and I doublechecked my forum profile, my pub cd key wasn't filled in, which I knew I'd done previously (hence how I was able to be logged in recently) so I filled it back in and submitted, when the page reloaded, the field was empty again, and the game still won't let me log in.
And same results whether I'm using beamdog or steam client
Using a screen name I've never tried on regulith gets me in ok

The instructions are clear that this will only work once migration occurs. You will have success with 1.69 accounts on the 27th, if migration occurs that day. Otherwise, soon after that.

Once the migration is done you can copy your nwncdkey.ini file in to the installation folder. After that you can play woth your own account names.

Migration is delayed a bit. There is a post by Dunshine about this found here: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=17344

As for your playername issue, L30.

You can go into your EE NWN files and access the nwnplayer.ini and delete the username attached to Playername=(WHATEVER).

It will then prompt you for another username on each entry, just use an unique one to EE until migration.
