HELP !!! Lost my CD key during Transit..

Hi,

This is the first time for me on this Forum.

Am in a 'BIIG SOUP'(a lot of trouble) !!

First off, a bit of a background. I am in India. This game was a gift given to me by my brother, who's in the USA(since I'm a big fan of strategy games, and there are virtually no interesting strategy games in India).

Now somewhere during transit, the CD KEY has been misplaced, and I just cant seem to find the DAMN thing. Now there's seems to be no way to get another CD key(have been searching the internet for the last couple of weeks).

Is there absolutely any thing that can be done ? I'm even willing to buy a another copy of the same game (though I obviously prefer not to waste money getting the same thing obviously), but I dont have any way of buying it(in India that is, since they are not sold anywhere in India).

[/b]SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME
