Remove old CD Key code

Yaaarrrr, ye be a pirate matey! Live with it!

Or, more seriosly, I don't think you're going to get dinged for it simply because the CD key isntalled on your computer doesn't match the one in your hand. You have a valid CD key, that should be all you need.

I know my brother and I have have had... issues in the past with getting our keys mixed up (on other games), never caused us problems

Which root folder?

This sounds like a solution to a problem that I have....

I just bought and installed SEV last weekend and I've already lost the paper sleeve with the key sticker on it. The game is still installed so I was hoping that I could find the key inside the installed folders somewhere.

The CD Key in encrypted form (well, it is just a LONG number) is stored in the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Malfador Machinations\Space Empires V

Delete the entry for "CD Data" and you are asked to enter the CD key again the next time you start SEV.

Why the hell doesn't the uninstall remove that key from the registry? I hate programs that don't clean up after themselves...thats just sloppy.

Perhaps it is to ease the frustration of reinstallling the game, or giving you a way to recover your key without the paper sleeve...much worse IMO is the practice of putting CD's in paper sleeves to save $.03 per copy produced. I just payed $xx.xx for your game, give me a real cd jewel...I won't hurt myself with it, I promise.

i cant find where the cd key is saved can someone help me.
nevermind i found it
