Viewing your Warcraft 3 CD-key?
I lost my cd case for Warcraft 3, which means I've lost my cd key. But I still have it installed on my PC at work. Is there any way to view the cd key, i.e. in the registry or something?
|
Looks like not. It appears to be kept in MPQ files. The's a program called keygrabber, but it's a cracker sort of utility, so I don't think we should discuss that further.
|
I keep a spreadsheet of all my CD keys. Useful file to have in case of system disasters and what have you. Just be sure to back it up on CD or some other medium every so often (along with other important files).
|
The spreadsheet is a good idea. I do need to get more organized with these kinds of things.
Blizzard has a process for getting a new cd key. But it requeires sending in the manual and $10. It seems like there'd be some way to recover it from a PC that it's installed on. It has to be stored in some form somewhere. |

Wink wink nudge nudge... awe crap, I am no good at being sly, try here:

it might be stored in registry like many other games. Also when its validating for battle net if you have a packet sniffer you can find it as one of the packets its sending out.

have you played at all on battle.net? if not, then I don't think this progy will find your missing key, if that is the case, let me know, and I will look again, I am pretty good and finding solutions for this kinda crap on the internet :D |

As Soon as you click on the battle.net button a packet will be sent out thats how all the programs for war3 find the cd key.
|
Retrieving your own CD key is perfectly legal. It's OK to talk about here.
|
if u send the disc to blizzard they will send u a cd key with a new game
|
Just log on to Battle.net, like Nuvdar said, log out, close down Warcraft, then run the program. Should work.
