  I think you need 2 unique CD Keys.

  ah.
  so if I understand correctly:
  one Unique CD key per workstation that are planned on being used,
  which I guess means one must make purchase of additional/unique NWN:EE's with a separate account/email?

  ok! Multiplayer over LAN fixed! Received final confirmation from Support.
  lessons:
  * one needs TWO(2) ( or more depending on workstations in LAN to run NWN:EE ) accounts,
  -each with different email address (account identified by email)
  * PC1 has Acct 1 Game/CD Key
  * PC2 has Acct II Game/CD Key
  etc.
  while one may have indeed copied all %\Neverwinter Nights-EE\% files & directories over to the other PCs,
  * one need to assure all PCs are launching the same version
  i.e. [G:\Games\Never-EE\00785\bin\win32\nwmain.exe]
  also seen in the in-game Options window in upper right-hand corner, eg. 77.8181
  
  * the same also applies to NWServer version too, it must match the nwmain.exe version.
  
  * also, assure the following directory has been created:
  C:\Users\%USERNAME%\My Documents\Neverwinter Nights
  (or make yourself)
  
  * assure the following files are within (if not, should also be found in root of NWN:EE directory, copy)
  nwn.ini
  nwnplayer.ini
  cdkey.ini
  
  Notes:
  cdkey.ini <-- should be created when in-game and selecting Multiplayer button and are prompted for CDKEY, which will have a format of:
  [NWN1]
  YourKey=12345-12345-12345-12345-12345-12345-12345
  
  [YOUR key found at
  https://store.beamdog.com/users/YOUR_BEAMDOG_USERNAME/dashboard#game-keys
  ]
  
  if you go into PC# and find NO Saved Games, NO Extra/Personal Characters, and/or are prompted in selecting your LAN Server "missing HAK files."
  
  make sure nwn.ini has the correct PATHS listed under [Alias] (meaning exactly where on your HDD the files are located).
  
  if these are pointing (strangely) to something like:
  [Alias]
  HD0=C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\Neverwinter Nights\
  MODULES=C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\Neverwinter Nights\modules
  etc.
  
  just correct them to show correct path: e.g.
  [Alias]
  HD0=G:\Games\Never-EE
  MODULES=G:\Games\Never-EE\modules
  
  then each PC should be able to join the Module selected on NWServer, and game on!
