Command And Conquer: Red Alert 3's CD Keys are 20 characters long but a misprint caused some cases to miss a letter.
To solve the problem, EA's technical support offers a simple solution: try to guess the missing letter.
"There is currently a work-around that may allow you to bypass this issue. Since you have the first 19 characters of the code already, you can basically try guessing the last character," explains the customer support site.
"To do this, simply enter your existing code, and then for the last character, try the letters A-Z, and then the numbers 0-9. You should eventually get the right combination, and be able to play the game."
