Serial key question

[tomster2300]

I've lost my Rome: Total War serial key and am wondering if there is a way to get a new one from the publisher. I have the cd's and even the box, but I lost the document the numbers came printed on.

Is there a legal way to resolve this without having to buy a new copy of the game? Is it still illegal to use a serial found online if you own the game?

Yes it is illegal to use a serial key online. Also if you use a cracked serial key, your multiplayer won't work.

Did you have the game installed on your computer previously? If you did you might be able to retrieve it in the registry.

I have not had it installed on my new computer, only my old one which is dead at the moment.

You could attempt a call to their support line...they might be able to help if you have the UPC and/or serial number, but other than that, I'd say you're out of luck.
