Activation Key
« on: October 26, 2012, 10:19:20 AM »
Hi. A friend bought me this game. He gave me the code over the phone so I don't have an email that will show up at the site you buy it from. My friend has moved and we have fallen out of contact. I do have the game installed on my laptop but I would like to move it onto my pc instead. Where or is the key in the regedit list. I have searched for it and as of yet not been able to locate it. My laptop is starting to fail me so I would like to get it moved before that becomes an issue thanks.

No it doesn't but it's only entry with serial. Look at other side, you fallen out of contact with your friend and now game that he gave you is falling away from you. It's time for you to buy it yourself. It's 10$ man.

It should show the key there - I don't know how familiar you are w/ regedit, but maybe you're not looking in the right place? It'll have the key with the characters in it separated by lots of slashes.

Ah, yes thank you both I got it now. It was all the slashes, that threw me. Guess that shows my experience with regedit is rather limited (used it once before this) but I got my game back. Thanks again.

Could you send an email to keys [at] bmtmicro [dot] com with your order info, so they can resend your confirmation email? Also, if you can PM me your key, I can take a quick look at it. I suspect it's a "typing in the key wrong" issue, but we'll see.
