Bad Serial Key given in setup

[kingfury4 65]

I got a new PC for Christmas. So I had to re-install ArmA, when I ran ArmA: 2 for the first time it gave me the error "Bad serial key given in setup" Operation Arrowhead works perfectly fine, what's the problem?

I did what it said, but it is talking about OA, I am having trouble with ArmA: 2 the fix for OA didn't affect my problem at all.

EDIT: I found a fix.
