Lost Battlefield Cd key...

Turbostraw · 08-31-2003, 01:35 PM

Uh hi,

I bought Battlefield a few months ago and since i got back high speed i wanted to play a little, however i cant find my cdkey...

As i dont want to go trought finding a cdkey on some illegal crap (that dont work anyway), I was wondering how i could contact EA so that i can eventually have a new one...

The problem is i think i threw away most of the documentation, i dont know what to do, do i have to send them a picture of me with the cds and the front cover of the box saying: Please think of the poor asstards or something? =p

Anyway, any ideas?

to get new cd key you will need proof you brought the game, it could just be your mates or somethigns and your going to copy it.

photocopy either the recite (sp) or the back of the game manual.

Whoa thats pretty stupid considering the cdkey is on the back of the game manual... =p

Err does it work if i do with the back of the box or something?

im pretty sure you can copy the barcode on the bottom of the box but im not sure that should be enough Proof of purchase you would have to contact EA and ask them what they need

Exactly...EA always puts their CD keys on the back cover of the jewel case, and never in a manual.

thats why you should register the game when it asks during installation.If you did that then EA already knows you bought the game.

Thats not true, maybe for u people in the US, but here in the UK, CD keys are usually on the back of the manual.

I think thats so in all europe versions. Most PC Games here are sold in small DVD Cases, so putting the cd-key on the back of the case would be a bad idea. :P

try looking at the cd when its in the computer, there may be a text file or something on there wiht the cd key on it. Some games do.
