CD Key Already in Use on that server?

Hello,
I have just purchased four NWN:EE games, on four different Steam accounts. 3 of the 4 have no problem creating or joining a LAN game. The fourth one, however, gives this error:
"Connection error: Your CD Key is already in use on that server". This makes no sense, how can 3 of 4 games and accounts link up, but not the last one? Super frustrating. My daughter is playing a character solo, and waiting for a fix to join the rest of the party.
Anyone know of a fix? Or even a reason why this would occur?

How do I fix this?
Based on this and this
Whenever multiplayer is started, there is a super-fast message about the CD key, but is only visible for a microsecond, and then the game goes to the server as normal, but we still have the same problem with the re-created CD Key.
I have purchased Neverwinter Nights, and Neverwinter Diamond edition a few times, trying to create multiplayer in the past, so I tried one of those CD Keys for those old games. I entered it manually into the cdkey.ini file, but it says that CD Key is invalid when trying to start a multiplayer game.
I deleted that cdkey.ini file, and started Neverwinter again, tried multiplayer, and it re-creates that same original CD Key file automatically, with the same CD key every time, on both machines. It must be getting that info from somewhere.
