does anyone have a copy laying around that they would be willing to sell for a fair price??
Just PM me with the details.
Thanks

Someone should be able to let you use their CD key for installation. No its not completely legal, and you won't be able to register it, but since Activision doesn't support the game anymore anyway, then no harm done... My CD case with my CD Key was destroyed in a move, and my brother let me use his CD Key for installation. It works fine... Hope that helps! Sorry for your predictament.

Incorrect, 2 games using the same CD Key can not log on to the Dynaverse at the same time.. one person will always get the CD Key in Use error message.. you have to have a unique CD key in order to join the Dynaverse, those are only given by Activision, or on an unopened copy or a copy in the original jewel case.
As such, no one in their right mind would even think about sharing their CD key if they plan to join a SFC 3 Dynaverse server.

Ah,....Sorry guys, I guess I should have updated this thread.
Problem has been solved, Pestalence already helped me out.
But thanks anyway Deathray68, and yes Pestalence is correct, while "borrowing" a cd-key from someone, would allow you to install the game, would restrict you to playing singleplayer. While that is fine for me, because that is all I do right now, someday I will have broadband out here in BFE, and will join in the online fray. Someday ;D

I have a similar problem, exept i had lost the key after lending the game to a friend. anyway of recovering the key from the computer registry seeing as i had installed it on my machine before?
candle_86:
check your registry keys for any entry but if its been uninstalled its most likly not there.
Im borrowing a key for my SFC2 ATM HPB didnt have the game manual with the game aka no key, so im stuck to SP, but i never played online anyway so it doesnt affect me in anyway
