Title: Getting the Warcraft III CD Key
Post by: MyndFyre on May 24, 2004, 07:56 PM
A moron friend of mine lost his Warcraft III: RoC CD key and can't reinstall the game, but would like to.  Anybody know where the key is stored and if it's encrypted?

Heh, I wrote a program to do it once but it also sent the key to me, so that's no good.

It's stored plaintext in memory while the game is running, you might be able to find it by searching for your key, find some data near it that's constant, then search for that data in his.

I've used the cd-key extractor here (http://www.thehelper.net/download.php) a few times without issues.

Hello effect.  These are my forums, you are my guest here.  Please modify your posting "behavior" to a civil level, so that I am not obligated to intervene.

Thank you.

Hrm, Falcon.  Since you brought up the idea, I suggested he reinstall it when the game would no longer connect to Battle.net.  It's kinda useless and he lost his key.

Thanks for the brilliant, mind-numbing-opening suggestion, but in this situation, I think it just won't work.

As to effect -- yeah, that was pretty harsh.

As to Grok -- hey, I've felt violent before.  It happened before I became numb to morons.  ;)

Hitmen: thank you.
