Default re-download with serial key

I recently upgraded to windows 8 & went back to Gamersgate where I'd previously bought Real Warfare2. now the game won't accept the serial number. How do I go about getting a new one, Any ideas?

Does the game require a serial number or GamersGate installer? If the game is asking for the serial, just don't click on Online button in main menu (multiplayer lobby is offline, we plan to restore it). You can play singleplayer or use Multiplayer button to play with your friends without going to lobby first.

As soon as I click on the desktop icon for the game an activation window opens up asking for the serial number, I tried to use the original one that Gamersgate supplied but as I had previously used it when I was on XP it must know that that serial number has been used. So I can't even open the game.
Am I going to have to go & buy a dvd copy & install it all over again using the serial number with the dvd?

Sorry if I sound like an idiot.

I've just been through the IC1 support page & apparently I need a hardware code, as I don't have one I've emailed IC1 support for help. I'll keep you informed of what happens in case this happens to anyone else

I've found out what the problem was, it was me being a bit thick:
The serial key on Gamersgate isn't entirely displayed in the relevant window, you have to keep scrolling past what looks like the end of the serial number & the rest then appears . I'd been merely scrolling to the end of the visible part of the serial key & copying & pasting this into the game set up window & unknown to me at the time there were 4 more characters missed off the end. Duh.

I had managed to do it right the first time I opened the game when I had XP, but had forgotten when it came to reinstall it on Windows 8.

I now feel rather foolish
