Lost CD-Key

[skatestix]

I got BF2 over a year ago and never thought to write down the cd-key for it. Recently I formated my hard drive on my pc and now I can't find the manual with the cd key on it.

I still have bf2 installed on my uncle's pc, which is what i'm on right now, and I checked the registry and its reaaally long and encrypted i guess. Any way of decrypting it or anything to get the cd key back?

Re: Lost CD-Key

If you haven't registered the game, click on the Register Now link that is in the BF2 Start menu folder. The go to www.ea.com, sign in with your EA/Gamespy/Pogo/etc ID, then click on My Account/My Games and you can retrieve your cd-key that way.

Works for any EA game that you own and register.

yeah i think so too

im thinking i can just export the encrypted registry and put it on a disk then import it back on my computer if i install it with a pirated cd key or something, anyone know if that'll work?

That will work, in case you still have the old key in the registry.
