Ok, Hey everybody, and first off I want to make this clear: I do NOT want another CD Key, I want to recover the one I am using.

I have a legal installation of Halo, with the CD and everything, except the CD on the box. Halo: CE requires a CD key to install, so I was wondering if there is any way I can "see" the CD key I have now for Halo and use it for CE.

I am not asking for a CD Key! Just Help!... Thanks

Heyyo,

Lol, don't call tech support, cause I'm better than any M$ tech support. ;)

Ok, what you can do is extract the ones you have from haloPC.

Go: start > run >regedit

Then: search for halo, it should appear somewhere under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Halo] or something like that. Then, extport the registry folder for it (it should save as a '.reg' file). There you can try to mod it into the HaloCE ones, but I'm not sure it it'll work for the installation, so if you have a bud who has HaloCE installed already just copy the extracted files of his to your comp, and mod your exported registr entries to match it. some values you need to change is the name from Halo, to Halo Custom Edition (the folder name, maybe the other entry too..) and demo should be yes (then it shouldn't do cd checks... I think this works with HaloPC, I should test...) and that's all I can remember, once I get home and can tell you the rest of the values, I could fill you in with more info. ;)
