Me and some friends decided to play a LAN game of NWN Diamond yesterday and were saddened to see that we couldn't join each others' games because our CD Keys were already in use. The support ticket is well documented on this forum but it takes around 12 hours to get your keys, and we were all in the same room and didn't have the time to wait. We sort of stumbled on this fix that worked great for us.
Have everyone but the host hit Join LAN Game and sit at the blank server browser. When the host creates the server, have everyone spam refresh and jump in to the game as quickly as humanly possible. If you're able to join the server before the module is loaded then technically there's nobody on the server to check your CD Key against, bypassing that restriction and allowing everyone in.
I got my CD keys this morning in an e-mail but if we hadn't figured this out then we'd have been out of luck during our LAN party yesterday. Hope it helps someone else out!
