ive used them all and they all say the same thing.

ERROR: "Bad Serial Number Given on Setup" or "Invalid or Missing Serial Number"

SOLUTION 1: Close Steam, then run as administrator. Run ARMA 2. Run ARMA 2: Operation Arrowhead.

SOLUTION 2: Delete a file called "localconfig.vdf" in .\Steam\userdata\#\config

The # is a series of digits that varies depending on your account. (If you've had multiple accounts active through your computer.) Restart Steam and run it as administrator.

SOLUTION 3:

1. Uninstall A2/A2:OA entirely. (Including the folders in registry.)

2. Close Steam.

3. Run Steam as administrator and reinstall the games.

WHY: (solution 1) Steam writes your serial numbers into your registry , but cannot do it if it doesn't have the rights to edit registry. Running both games means that Steam will re-write both serial numbers for both games. That way DayZ will work the next time you try to play it.
