The Sims 2 CD Key

[azmonsoon]

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone might know if there is a way to retrieve the CD/Product Key for "The Sims 2" on my computer. We lost the cd case which has the key on the back of it. Is there a way to get it from somewhere on my computer? Any help would be appreciated. My son is going nuts!! Thanks.:eek:

If you want no cost, and the game is installed, you could search your registry for the lost cd key, however, i don't know how, and i don't advise it.

I also found this, if you still want to do it legal : http://support.ea.com/cgi-bin/ea.cfg/php/enduser/cci/ea/replace_code.php

Thank you both for your help, I absolutely don't mind paying for one if necessary.

Thanks again

Keep in mind the cost of a whole new game.....sometimes it might be cheaper/easier to just buy a new copy. That is, if you end up needing to re-install.
