You need to a) install as an admistrator and b) run as the same user you installed as, I think. And if that's not possible, you're in for some registry editing afaik.

If what e-gor said doesn't work, try doing this:
go to C:\windows\temp
Delete everything inside
go to My Documents\Battlefield 2\Cache
Delete everything inside
Go to My documents\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2
delete everything inside

Don't really know if that's your problem, but it worked fine for me at the times I was getting cd-key not valid for no reason.

Go to your EA Games\Battlefield 2\Support folder and exec the Battlefield2_code.exe

Then you can enter your code and it should work again.
It helped me once.
