CD_Key Warcraft 3

[Warseeker]

For the last couple of months, I've been trying to connect to Battle.net and I didn't successed but the thing I've realised then it was CD_Key that was missing. So I tried using a tool in order to change the CD_Key of Warcraft III but unfortunatly, he request me to enter my previous CD-Key which I don't know and I don't have it ???

I've tried to look somewhere to find it but I couldn't! Is there any chance I can retrieve my current CD-Key Warcraft 3?

If you have registered your game at bnet website, you can retrieve it there, like I did. I retrieve my keys from there. I added my key there for savekeeping.

www.battle.net


If you at any case have changed your key, warcraft does in no way store your previous key. If you have, theres little hope unless you have the old files from earlier installations.

Otherwise there are programs which can fetch your cd key while you logon onto bnet, but is useless if you don't have any.


In older timers blizzard provided info on how you could help yourself with the key from your wc3 (I don't know which file, maybe one of the mpq's), but they closed it now (old link which didn't work anymore http://www.blizzard.com/support/?id=awr0636p).

If you have the files from older installation with your cdkeys input, you should somehow be able to recover it, but I haven't done it myself.



I'm sure others here can be more of assistance.

As TKF said your key is bound to your battle.net account, assuming you didn't use a different key for battle.net and installig wc3.

You can't do anything with my key anyway so don't bother to try.

If you brought a retail copy of the game then the CD key will still be inside the original case. It is usually printed on a sticky label of sorts that is glued behind where the manuals are or directly below the disc.

Do note that when you buy WC3 you are ultimately paying for the CD key as that is the licence to use the product. The installation discs or downloaded installer are equivalently worthless as without a CD key you cannot use them fully. If you pirated WC3 then you will not have a genuine CD key so cannot fully use the product.

My Warcraft 3 disc is broken... I don't see other way than getting a new one and re-installing the game.

Thanks for the help anyway

I don't have a disc either, I got digital copies.

You do not need one.

The disk is worthless. Its the CD key in the case that has all the value (what you paid money for). You can attach that to your BattleNet 2.0 account and download WC3 completely for free.

If you're talking about the disc cover which is the place to find the CD_Key as I searched in the Internet
Well, I hate to say this but the cover is lost too..
I don't have a choice I think, I was hoping if there is something that might help me to search the Key in Warcraft III data if not then my current Warcraft 3 Battle.net is useless.
Ah Nevermind, I dunno why I cared so much, I could just play on other servers as GameRanger or Garena.

If you don't want to listen, fine.

Official copies of WC3 came in a DVD case with the CD key printed on a label stuck to one of the sides. If you got yours in any other form it was pirated and the CD Key was fake. Fake CD keys work to install the game (they pass the algorithmic test) but they have a high chance to fail BattleNet as they are not "activated" keys.

What you are asking makes no sense. If the cd key was "missing" then it will not be in your data. The CD key is stored encrypted in one of the game archive files, the value is uploaded to BattleNet for evaluation and activated ones are let in.

I remember seeing threads across the internet, something about registry files on your computer storing CD keys somewhere? Not sure though.

I remembered that I downloaded a pirated WC3 then I have an access through Battle.Net back then.
I couldn't remember the steps between after finishing the download and entering the Battle.Net.
It did happened to me back then. Must have a lot of luck for me I guess. :l

Now I truly believe my Warcraft 3 is pirated that's explain me why.

Do Windows-key + R, type in "regedit" without the ", navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Blizzard\WarCraft III and/or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Blizzard\WarCraft III

Your current key should be there.

 

[Warseeker]

Okay, I'll try that ^^

It may be the key is encrypted.
