i solved my problem i just needed 2 remove 1 file form steam cause i couldent see any of my key steam games it just keept on saying requesting key

i just needed 2 delete this file from stean

1. Exit steam

2. go to: C:\Program Files\Steam\userdata\51639844\config (in my case ) and remove the file thats called localconfig.vdf

3. open steam as administrator (that was i did) dunno if it works without administrator but i sloved it so now the problem with the bad serial key also fixed :3 soo happy right now
