Anyone having problems importing profile from Retail to Steam COD4?

[RangerXML]

I just bought COD4 through Steam and was wondering if anyone else had any problems importing their profile/rank/stats from their retail version to their newly purchased Steam version. If there is, I remember in the retail you could change the CD key in game, I wonder if I can change it to the retail key from within to except my profile? Can't download the 9GB COD4 through Steam until I get home, but I am concerned about everything being lost.

EDIT: OK, was able to import profile, had to change key to retail key from the options screen in game. DO NOT FORGET TO WRITE YOUR STEAM CD KEY DOWN!

I think the Steam version overwrites the CD key in the registry every time you start it up. Start up the Steam version, go to "enter key code", copy that down, and enter the Steam key in the retail version to keep your profile and not need Steam running when you play.

Still has my retail CD key in. I have a theory that I could change my CD key back to the Steam one and achieve an objective and my profile should be good, but that might take a while to test.

EDIT: You were correct, I switched the CD Key back to the Steam key and it kept my profile. Now I can sell the Retail.
