I just bought two copies from the local Fry's of a bundled SH2/SH3 and they still seem to have StarForce, but do not contain any Install Key Codes. The US publisher, encoreusa.com, has a web page solution: sent them $10 and they will replace "lost or unreadable" serials. Well, that's the price I paid per disk. And the hour drive plus gas from home to Fry's makes the "retailed refund" counterproductive as well. Any ideas? Did I miss something obvious?

I will try the NWS guys if all else fails (since I am trying to outfit multiple machines for some LAN party stuff). I had good luck with them when I gave away "legal" copies of Q2 at a recent game event.

All clues appreciated.
