I have received a 'The specified Online ID or account name is already in use' error message while logging in to Red Alert 3's lobby.

 

This is what I saw in the FAQ:

- Upon login, the game says: 'The specified Online ID or account name is already in use'.
Solution: Your nickname has probably been reserved. You need to claim your old nicknames. Activating them takes some time. Read the pinned topics. It can also be that a different user already is using a profile with the name you tried to use, in this case you will have to settle on a different nickname.

 

The confusion was, I had no other nicknames. And from my profile, my accounts already have been activated.

 

Very curious.

 

EDIT: I will say though, that at least my login does work with C&C Generals and Zero Hour and C&C 3 Tiberium Wars and Kane's Wrath.

Then I would suggest that you just type in a different Online ID. You may not have resvered it from way back when, but that does not mean someone else has not grabbed it. 
So if it is in use then it is in use. So type in different id while ingame and you are sett your acount will sort it out them self.
