Firstly, fuck Windows 10 for doing this. Secondly, you don't have to put up with me for a while!

So, finally got to upgrading to Windows 10 and I really do enjoy it and it's nice and all BUT after reinstalling my steam library from a back up I can't play mutliplayer on CoD2. This is because it didn't actually give me my CD key. It's gone!
I have tried these:

Looking in RegEdit, nothing. Installing Windows 7 on my other HDD and also CoD2 and that was the same, no Key at all. Also verified the games cache, also nothing. It's a right old pain in the ass. For sure.

 

If anyone else has anymore tips then that would be greatly appreciated! It might just be me having to get another key

if you upgraded everything should be there

check https://steamcommunity.com/app/2630/discussions/0/864973123451977509/

might help

one of the steps is to delete registry entry but check if its there first

Go to the "Start" menu, select "Run", type "regedit" and click "OK".


Navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Activision\Call of Duty 2
Note: In 64-bit operating systems, this path may begin as: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\

Click on the registry value "codkey". This is your Steam-assigned CD Key for Call of Duty 2.

That was my first port of call. Sadly I have tried everything and I've decided just to buy a new copy of the game. It's not overly important that I can't play it. I'm sure the server will survive without me for a bit

Good news, I have been given a new key for CoD2 from the place I purchased it from and that should now work. Can't keep an idiot out that easily!
