Does anyone know how to recover a lost CD key?

warhead0180 · 10-12-06, 06:32 PM

The old comp I had Silent Hunter on got fragged, so I had to reinstall, and I can't ind the friggin' CD case. The game is installed but I do not know, nor did I write down the CD key. I tried checking the registry, but for some reason it's not in there.

My questions are these; Does anyone know where on my PC I can fine the CD key so I can play this game again? Do I have to call Ubisoft's help line and can/will they help me? Has anyone else had this problem?

Helpful comments are appreciated.

I believe the key should be on the DVD or mine was on a sticker inside the DVD case (US DVD version).

If you're having trouble with it, you can contact Ubi tech support here:

For me, iirc, the CD key was printed directly on the DVD - EMEA version.

White tag inside the DVD case. Find your case, or contact ubi, and get a new one.

Hope they don't make you jump through too many hoops to get a new one if you need it.

Take $10 and go get a new one off the shelf. You can find bargins on new copies. CD code inside.
