While I sympathize with your problem (I think at least the last game, if not 2 or 3, should be available for purchase, we certainly shouldn't expect online leagues to update to the latest OOTP immediately), asking to buy or share an "extra code or key" has long been against
the forum's rules. So please don't.
As for the reason why you can't buy them through the providers anymore, I'm not sure. I've seen a few reasons proposed: discontinued live services support (
I think that was the only official reason given, but why not then change the provider going forward?), discontinued license support (I doubt it's this), league licensing (I could definitely see this being the reason), the company wanting to make more off the higher price of the latest version (I like to think it's not this). Whatever the reason, it is what it is, but if enough people ask for at least the last being made available for online league support, then maybe they'll change their mind.
It should be noted that if anyone wants to buy a previous version to upgrade to the latest (like say you have 24 and want to upgrade to 26), you don't have to get a license for the middle version(s). Just
download the demo of the previous version(s) you need and the demo will allow you to convert your league.
But for online leagues, sorry, I don't have a better solution for you. :/
