I used CD KEYs DIRECT once, but there are others you can buy an online key from. There is an issue with COD4 not disconnecting your CD Key properly regardless of whether your game crashed etc. Simply logging out normally from the game will cause the 'CD Key In Use' error. I have two computers with COD4. One has original sealed retail install with it's original key and the other PC has an intallation from the retail CD, but with the key I purchased online. Both have Keys worked at the same time as well as individually, but both get the same error frequently. Rebooting your modem will cause the master server to drop your CD Key from use 90% of the time from others and my own experience.

On the Activision website however, they tend to point at everyone's modem as being at fault. I have a 'natural' firewall. Have been able to play online many times without touching anything. Activision recommends port forwarding, but that forces me to turn on my higher levels of firewall in my modem and port forward every single thing I use through it. I have had reports of people having success in port forwarding COD4 and it's fixing the 'CD Key In Use' issue. My information is based on what I can gather and others opinions as well.
