So alot of you are purchasing OA keys, and have found that they come as a hex. I have helped many via team viewer manually change there key in the registry. This is a tutorial to show you how to change it in the registry.
First off, you need to know if your key is a hex, or not. This is how you can tell.
Hex:
Code:
1A 2B 3C 4D 5E 6F 7G 8H 9I 1A 2B 3C 4D 5E 6F
Non-hex:
Code:
1234 ABCD 5678 EFGH 12AB
If your key looks like the first one, you are in good shape.
Now, to get into your registry, Click your start button and search for 'regedit'
Open up regedit, and go to this path:
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Wow6432Node\\Bohemia Interactive Studio\\ArmA 2 OA
Select the ArmA 2 OA folder, and double click on the word key. A box will come up with your current hex. Delete its contents (CTRL+A then BACKSPACE) then enter your new hex. Once you are done, click OK, then go in game and and enjoy your new, unbanned key!
Thats it, its that simple. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me or add me on skype, chris.drmario

Simple guide, thanks for the post.
Why would someone sell OA keys that come as a hex? Most obvious scam ever.

Because that's how I get them. How is it a scam? Please do enlighten me.
I tried this and I dont know if its something on my end or what. But when I try to join a server, I get kicked, no reason or than a kick message. I joined a friends server and he just says (unverified). So what am I doing wrong?
That's the way I use, it's working great and takes less than 1 minute to process.
