[Sebastian]

Heres a little and simple guide on how to easly prevent steam from changing your CD key back to the old one.

1. Go to start and search 'regedit'

2. Navigate to, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Bohemia Interactive Studio\Arma 2 OA

3. Right click the folder go to 'Permissions'

4. Click on advanced

5. Go to administrators and click edit

6. Find 'Set Value' and check the box 'deny' and accept changes

It now makes Steam unable to change the CD key.

I did this once, but for some reason DayZ Commander didn't like it and wouldn't let me join servers, but I have seen a lot of people say it works so give it a shot!
