Install the 1.5 patch located here:

http://www.matrixgames.com/products/441 ... Gettysburg

That will solve your activation problems.

Hi.

When you installed the 1.5 patch you no longer need to deactivate your game online. Don't worry about deactivating your game with patch 1.5, Norb Timpko removed the serial/game activation, and deactivation online feature.

Cheers.
