BF2S Forums EA link causing "invalid cd key" message. WTF

I just got home and started bf 2142. I noticed that EA downloader was updating itself (it is now EA link). Anyway, it did its little update and then i logged into 2142.......All good your thinking but wait!!!! i tried to join a server and before it starts loading the map i get "invalid cd key". WTF man, seriously.............c'mon. Anyway i tried updating punkbuster (although the message I'm getting doesn't seem to be a pb message) and then i try again. NO GOOD!!!!! i still get the "invalid cd key" message". I can log into my EA account but i can't join any servers. WTF WTF WTF is going on people for gods sake i just wanna play the f'ing game...............
