Are you using the steam version ?

If so, run steam As Administrator, then run Arma II operation arrowhead, as you normally would.

Then exit Arma II and THEN run DayZ through Six or whatever method you prefer.

You don't have to do this every time, just the first time you launch the game (Arma II).

The game isn't still loading is it ? (sometimes it is very slow). And you do need to run steam as Administrator before launching (run both arma II then arma II OA) once they have completed the setup (DirectX / BattleEye) then you "should" be able to run six launcher and run the game.

If none of that works, then try verifying the game cache in steam, let it download / fix what it needs to and start the whole process again.

This can be a pain in the ass to get working at first but once you do it's very worth it.

no, what he said is correct. If you're running steam version you MUST run Arma II and then Operation Arrowhead to install/associate the serial number w/ the software.

I am now having this problem I was having it before so I uninstalled the games updated my BIOS reinstalled ran both games just fine, installed the SIX launcher and updater. I was playing the games all night after that. I wake up this morning and I get the Bad Serial Number Given at Setup when i try to play DayZ or open OA

this was exactly what my problem was. Shutting down steam and right click "run as admin" then running both games seems to have fixed the problem....like he said :P Now to try the six updater..dun dun dunnnnn!
