Could use a hand

Could use some help getting SH3 installed on my laptop. I'm deployed right now and I have a cheap laptop that I'm trying to get SH3 on to. After install, it ask for a key. I thought the whole starforce advantage, was that as long as you had the disc, you didn't need a key. All I brought with me was the disc, not the manual or box. My disc start the game on my computer at home with no problem, even with re-installations. I don't remember ever having to use a key for SH3. I remember someone saying it's on the disc, but I don't see anything etched on the surface. Is this some starforce error?

Thanks. I'll give it a shot!

No luck. I couldn't locate my activation key on the cd. Mine came on the box, which the old lady got rid of years ago. I can install/uninstall sh3 on my desktop as much as I want, probably because starforce in in the registry. Can anyone send me a pm. I'm deployed right now fellas and cant download anything on these military computers or problem would be solved.

See ya soon
