This tutorial doesn't work if someone else is using your cd key!!!

This is a tutorial for fixing the common ”CD-Key is allready in use by:” problem for most people on Diablo 2.

So why does this happen?
Well, when your game crashes for any reason you will still be logged to battle.net and the game itself is still loading in the background.

So how do we get rid of this problem?
You could wait for it to automatically log out (This can take up to 15 minutes)
but...
If you're in need to get online at once you could do following steps (this will take 10-15 secs)

Here is the problem:

First; You need to open the task manager (ctrl + alt + del on your keyboard)
and as you notice no diablo 2 on right now.

Second; You need to click on the tab ”processes” or what language you use but will be in same location aslong as you use windows.
