Hey, I asked this in another topic but nobody answered and I'm not sure how active this forum is.

Is it at all possible to obtain a lost cd-key with the box/cd/manual? My older brother is a clean freak and through it out some years ago. Beyond the fact of losing a game that was my favourite past time I'm interested in regaining the key for 2 reasons. To get the Halo Reach nameplate and the one for having all 3, and to be able to reinstall the glorious thing.

I realise I can call in to Microsoft, but I was wondering with having the cd, box, and manual if I could get it for free instead of shelling out $10? The money is only an issue for the time being, however I'm doubting whether or not I can get them after release (correct me if I'm wrong).

Thanks.

I don't see why not if you have and even if they don't it's about $10-15, your problem is finding it. Also I think sawnose said they haven't specified yet.

That's the number of bans in this thread. Next time you want to derail something, go stand in front of a train.

Ring MS, quote the number located on the CD, usually along the outside and/or in the centre, where the hole is.

See: http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=48433854&p ostRepeater1-p=1#48441349

Apart from ringing up MS, the only other way is to buy it again, unless, you don't happen to have it still installed? If so, download and run this program: http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=2147

Wow, very unexpected...

I called in and told the representative the situation and he took down the part number, he said no matter what he can't wave the $10 processing fee (BS)... But that's fine. The unexpected thing was he said because it's a discontinued product they no longer give new keys out for it. I didn't think that was the case, and on top of that he said because of my situation I may be eligible for a discounted Halo 2 PC, which is cool in another way!

But yeah that's the follow up on that.

Also with the key recovery programs, unless it digs through possibly wiped and very old registry files. I'm screwed in that department. Damn my uneducated pre-computerness.

If you've had halo installed on the computer before, download this, then open it and it will tell you your CD key, that's how I found my lost CD key. http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=2147

Only if the registry files are there, so if you do try and it doesn't work, then, that's it.
