HELP LOST MY CS CD KEY

[speedyvision]

ok what happened is i have 2 computers both have cs on them then i reformatted one of them and when i was ready to install cs i realized i lost my cd and the package i got them in which has my cd key, so i was wondering if there was any way to find out the cd on my other comp that has it installed because they are the same key.

i'm not sure how it is with counterstrike but with most programs your not supposed to use the same cd (and cd key) for more than one computer.

u can use the cd key on more than one comp it just means both of those computers cant use that cd key and both play at the same time, and i bought that cd key and its only on my computers

yes it is pretty easy. Fire up your registry editor and hop to this value:
[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Valve\Half-Life\Settings]
under it there will be a value that says "key".. that will be your CD-KEY.

as for using the same cd key, you can use the same cd key aslong as the server you are on is only LAN and the LAN is not on the internet.... now that u think of it, you have to be on the internet to use steam, am i right? just go to your local software dealer and buy another, its like 20 bux

Alot of times its in the .ini file under game root folder too. NeverWinter Nights is like that. Heck you can change key there too just open ini in wordpad change and then save! Course this game maybe diff and hide it making reg only way. Then use regedit.

yea, pretty sure regedit is the best (may be only) way to do this task... good luck and keep us informed!

I think you can. You can use the Cd key more than just one computer if it is just your personal use. But it is illegal if you make a CS cyber shop with it

ya i got it by using regedit
