Actually the key is not checked when installing the game. Here is what you need to do.
First, close Medieval 2. From the Windows desktop:
- Click Start
- Click Run
- Type regedit and click Ok
This will open the registry editor. In the left-hand pane you will see a list of folders.
- Double-click HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
- Double-click SOFTWARE
- Double-click SEGA
- Double-click Medieval II Total War
In the right-hand pane, you will see the game's registry entries.
- Double-click CDKey
You can now enter your CD Key in the Value Data field. Be sure to enter the CD Key exactly as it appears on the back of your Medieval 2 manual, including the hyphens (-). The CD Key must be entered all in upper-case (capital letters). All 0s are zeroes. The CD Key should take the format:
12AB-34BC-56DE-78FG
- Once you have entered the CD Key, click OK
- Close the Registry Editor
Now start Medieval 2 again and try to connect to multiplayer.
