sunderbear noted that EAs Command & Conquer 3 shipped missing the last digit of the CD Key.

'To do this, simply enter your existing code, and then for the last character, try the letters A-Z, and then the numbers 0-9. You should eventually get the right combination, and be able to play the game.'" It appears that the helpful hint has been purged.
