Key Retrieval

(1/2) > >>

OGRastamon:
I've got the same ol' sob story. Old CD, no key. I understand why you don't want to give up your keys (although I have no intention of multiplay, so give it up if your game) but surely someone knows how a key can be retrieved. It has to be somewhere other than a flimsy jewel case, doesn't it? Like in my regkeys somewhere? In the setup files on the CD? Where are the braniacs when I need 'em?  :)

Bonk:
If it was installed on a system the CD key can be found in the registry here:

EAW:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WON\CDKeys

OP:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GameSpy\CDKeys

They are both there as hex, so you'll need to decode them or you can export the key and then merge it on the target system.

Washu:
Help I can't find OP:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GameSpy\CDKeys except if I wish to edit the expiration date for the  authentication code. I have a laptop that runs on Windows XP. Could you please help it's been years since I could Play Sfc.

Bonk:
You're not quite making sense here. CD Keys for SFC do not expire.

If SFC was never installed on a system then the registry key mentioned above will not be present in the registry. Those instructions are only for cases where you already have a valid CD key for OP or EAW on a system but have lost the CD case or something and you wish to install it on another system or wish to recover the key before reinstalling windows on the system.

Washu:
The problem is after I installed the game a long time ago my younger brother not knowing better peeled off the Cd Key and threw it out is there any way to help.
