If nothing works then you can run as administrator 'regs.cmd' from main directory. Worked for me.

Damian_Donny: need cd key here
I tried to restart game, like the post above suggested, it didn't work. I had to go to GOG Galaxy, select the game, click the MORE button, then Installation, the Verify/Repair. After that it started and ran normally.
I had installed using the offline installer, so I guess that's why it didn't update automatically.

Thanks
Yes, I had troubles, too. ALWAYS asked for CD Key. To be a bit more specific, in the game directory is a batch file called "regs.cmd." Double clicking this file got me into the game :)
sorry guys I need your help.. I am not that good when it comes to deal with my laptop..
I am trying to run the game and I've been following all your suggestion but being not succesful.
It always appear the request for the serial number and I do not know how to deal with it.
I run as admin, it didn't work.
Then I look into the directory, but I may wrong, and I clicked on regs but it say "Error: access denied".
What to do now?

You need to run regs.cmd as administrator.
So right-click on regs.cmd (in the main directory) and then select "Run as adminisrator".
Hi there !

If you have this issue and if you are on Windows 7, there is a problem with the system path system32.

Copy and paste regs.cmd to c:/windows/system32 and run it.

Try to launch the game and you should see an gold font (with the word gold edition) than the orange fluo font.

Don't forget to clean this regs.cmd from system32 folder.

Bronchium: settlers 3, where can I find the main directory?
Depends on where you installed it.

Check C:\GOG\Settlers 3

To know for sure, open the installer, select Options, and you should see the installation folder there (it saves the path to last installation).
