Activation for each user in the same computer...

Ok, something is going on with Warband, I bought the key, activated it on my home desktop in my account that has admin rights, so someone else logs in the same computer with his/her account, regardless if they are admin or not, the game asks for activation, ok, so I manually activate the game in every account, it seems to work fine in all accounts except online, it gives me a message like "incorrect serial number" or something like that, makes no sense... I am on Windows XP Home (yea, I know), Service Pack 3. I checked the registry and it is fine, the key, the hash and the manual key are correctly there... I am not sure what to make of all this???!!!

In order to activate Warband in a limited account you'll need to log in, run and activate from the Admin account at least once, which will allow the game to set itself up.

HOWEVER

You won't be able to play multiplayer from a limited account as the game won't be able to access the registry to verify the key. To fix it you'll need to provide access to the registry key for those limited accounts. You can do it via regedit, though I don't recall if you can set the permissions for an individual key or whether you need to set them for the entire registry.

Ah! Thanks Archonsod, I might have suspected something like that, thanks for the heads up!
I am going to try it out...
