Author Topic: Registering a CD key to download it from EA?  (Read 3356 times)

Just getting this out of the way first because I just know some idiot would report this if I didn't.
No, this is not about pirating.

I just want to know if it's possible for me to find the CD key for a game I've already installed. I'm trying to install Battlefield 2142 Deluxe Edition on a new computer, but I lost the instruction manual with the CD key on it. I have a computer with it already installed on it, so I was wondering if it would be possible to retrieve the key off the other computer. And if so, how would I do it?

I think it's possible. That's what I did for Quake 3.

And how would I do that?

It's only pirating if you got the game FILES illegally.

Making keys from programs, as I recall, is also illegal.

A key is only a anti-piracy measure, and you already bought the game, so it is not piracy.

he doesn't want a new key
he wants his old key

I did this for Men of War, check the official forums, that's how I found out.

I need to figure out my key for LEGO Island: Extreme Stunts.  I borrowed it to a friend years ago, but he lost the manual. :c

You mean I can downlaod the games I own already legally?

If so, I will download my games on CD's and DVD's, my loving DVD-RW does not work. Everytime I put it in it ejects itself.

I'm not asking for a new key you colossal idiot. If you read the OP, you would realize I'm trying to get an existing key that I already entered back.

You're stealing keys with key generators.

Depends on the game, in some cases you pay for the game, however this isn't the case, if it were, you would be able to legally download the game from their site. Ex: WoW, you can download it, but you need a key to actually do anything.

Can someone find a solution?  I really want to try this game again :c
