I decided I wanted to start playing Star Craft w/ my friends again, so I started looking for my CD. I found it, no problem. Only issue is, I can't find the case...the case that has the CD-Key on it.

I tried ripping a couple off line, but they are all restricted from Battle Net. Is there a way for me to search through my CD to find it, or something like that? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

Edit: Also, is there a way for me to change my CD key w/o having to uninstall it each time?

I don't think you can change the key...
if you want another one, just use google - there's plenty of these around

Yeah but you can't play with pirated CD keys, well if you want to play with your friends, try using hamachi, it simulates LAN, and there's no cd key authorization for LAN games (hell you can play with spawn even)...

The only way to regain your cd key (and it's not a sure one either) is to contact blizzard and request a new one. but you will have to prove where you bought the game, when you bought it, receipts and much more. Now you know why you should always leave your disc in the cover Sorry mate but you shouldn't have any problems via lan networking with your friends. but the pirated keys will not let you hook up on Battle Net

Could you buy a cheap copy from eBay, and use the cd-key from there?

The ones on eBay start from ?1 - http://video-games.search.ebay.co.uk/Star-...ZR8QQsacatZ1249

I think a photo graph of your cd might convince blizzard support to send you a new one.

It's worth a try. I'd help you out buddy but I enjoy Starcraft on occassions and would hate to lose my cd key

I'm serious try hamachi, since it simulates LAN, and you don't need CD key for LAN, I'm sure it's not a problem for you or one of your friends to host it...

I'd gladly give you mine... if I could find the damn key!!
So they come with it stuck on the cd case (like Warcraft)? because then I seem to have lost it too.

You can find cracks that work on B-net, it may take a bit of time but they are around
