i encountered this bug also, while installing Supreme Commander and have a
possible workaround. 

i noted that my key was entirely in caps, i assumed because that way there can
be no confusion between similar characters such as lowercase L and uppercase I
and attempted to substitute lowercase characters in my problem key field, B,
like so: AAAA-bbbb-CCCC-DDDD-EEE. this allowed me to procede.

i think that the user who stated that the problem is more than there is
insufficient room to type the key characters and SHOW them, as opposed to the
key being invalid. it's purely a gui issue i guess.

noteworthy thought: using lowercase letters in this situation worked since they
took up less room. using a smaller font when faced with this problem would
probably have the same effect, especially if your application is case
sensitive.
