To Obtain Cd-keys...
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)Posted by: g3cK0
No, i'm not here to provide you with a list of my own personal cd-keys...
cd-keys from key gens don't work when you play online for some the games and they are not valid approved ones...so to get your own valid key....next time you go to a cyber cafe, just download a cd key changer/retriever for the game you want from the net (there are plenty around) and just get the keys from the cafes! the cafes normally play LAN games among themselves so you shouldn't get the problem where two ppl with same cd-keys try to connect at the same time (blocking the other out)...
that's how i get most of my kets after d/ling them from k lite...
Hopw this helps!!! B)

Or... heres what sometimes works.
1)
Go to website of the game. Say your cd was scratched. The will send you a brand new cd "hopefully" with the a cd key. Sometimes the require you to first send them the defect cd, so you get cd lables, and print off the cd cover off cdcovers.cc
2)
Go to website of the game. Say someone has been using your cd code and have them de-activate the cd key. Then they will send you a replacement cd key. Doesnt work in most situations though.
The first one works more than the second one, but you'll have to invest in cd lables, which arent a bad thing either. Then with cd lables, you can buy the cheapest cd, (the one with a whole bunch of writing on it) and then print off custom cd covers, or cdcovers.cc.
*Please note, cdcovers.cc does NOT have music cd covers.

This one is a program witch says that it can change the CD key of Halflife/counterstrike.
I havenīt tried it myself but it seems good.
It is also good to use if you are banned from a certain server so you can change your CD key with it which means that you will be able to play the server again.
If you want then you can download it from here:

that would defeat teh whole purpose of downloading the game, now would it :P :D

Or you could just buy the game.

as laike said...clearly buying the game would defeat the whole purpose of k lite....
the other two methods mentioned above will never work....they will want the origirnal CDs back + a receipt...which you will never have....and if you try to print on the CDs, it's obvious that they are fake...
so all this aside, i think my method of "retrieving" (stealing) cd-keys from net cafes are the most efficient way to obtain the key! just don't get caught... :P

Here is method using search engine like google.
Get a cd key/ serial for something (does not matter what it is, you easily at least 1 serial somewhere on kazaa lite)
Goto google.com
in search box put in cd key /serial number followed what you are looking for.
Because the a cd key was in the search the odds what every pages shows up in the search to be pages that have cd key on them and should also have whatever you looking for on it also.

If I download a game, I generally buy it if I like it anyway. It's the boxes that are the important part. I think they should go back to making the nice big boxes....these small ones look silly on my shelf. <_<

Here's another way to get cd keys that just popped in my mind. Go to the store that has the game. Wait till no one is looking, and open up the box, and get out the cd. Copy down the cdkey. If someone catchs you, you can play the fool (works sometimes) or you can just apologize and return the cd to the box. Either way, they will probably not do anything, (like call the cops) and if they do, you really didnt steal anything. Just make sure someone is not looking at you, and it helps if it is a big store.

you honestly think your idea is better and safer than mine??? :angry:

best method.
Goto any computer store that has the game. Take out your cellphone and just type in the serial #'s and store it as a #. MOSTLY ALL GAMES HAVE THE SERIAL # ON THE OUTSIDE.. i know hl does.. i have 40 cd-keys hee hee.

correction: most boxes DON'T have their keys on the outside...that would be stupid...

I think this is the best method:
Go into a game shop with computergames,then look if thereīs somebody around.
when thereīs no one there,just steal the game and then just go out pretending nothing has happen.
And if they see you steal it,then just fucking run so fast you can.
Thatīs the way I get my computer games and I havenīt been caught yet. B)

I like my idea better. If its a popular game, they have a sensor that goes off when you exit (well atleast at bestbuy). If you steal the actual game, you can get in trouble. If you steal the information, there is nothing they can do. Now, the only problem, is when that game is sold, you might be kicked. Not sure how that will work out.

Just steal a new one. :D
Posted by: Laike
or yet again the best easiest method of all, just play offline, and if that doesn't suit you well enough, steal your dumb freinds CD key. Note, I see at resellers at EB, that they leave teh CD wrapped in Saren wrap on the shelf waiting for you to buy it, the CD keys are usually in the plain sight *cough cough*

I'm sorry this method is got to be for a kid who's like under 13. Cause if ur over 18 u risk going to the County Jail. Over a video game, NOT!! And even if ur under 18 u still go to juvie and have to have ur parents pick u up. I think this is more of a tip to end up in the back of a pig's car. Who the hell wants that?
I like the cellphone idea or another one could be just take an mpeg of it and if anything say u wanted to make sure u were buying the right one for ur brother and needed the pix just in case so u wouldn't have to buy the wrong game and later not allowed a refund. Stealing a cd key #(information, not the actual cd ) is like white collar crime the kind u really can't prove. But walking in the store and takin the actual cd and makin a run for it, is more like a crackhead going into a record store and stealing dvd's or music cd's and then trying to sell them around the corner, when nowadays with P2P's like Kazaa u can get any movie, game, or Ware* for free!
Don't mean to flame u. Just from the ol skewl and done some time but not for some video game.

Well if it doesnīt works for you,then DONīT steal it but I will continue stealing onlinegames which I havenīt got any CD key for cause I have skills :D for it.

I hear u! But to be honest I wasn't really referring to what works for me. It's your method that i'm really trying to get at.
I will continue stealing onlinegames which I havenīt got any CD key for cause I have skills for it. Hey im on ur side I got over 160 gigs of warezs, gamez, avi's, and mp3s which I never paid a dime for. So u could say we both steal! I'm just saying try and be more slick about it. I have easily over $1000 in stolen goods on my hd but the chances of a cop or fbi knocking on my door for theft is probably zero. But u could take $40 game from a pc store and go to jail that same day. OK lets break it down: Your not after the game itself cause you can get that free online. You need that product key to play online, right? So all you need is a combination of letters and #'s, nothing physical, just info. So I'm just suggesting to try a method which doesn't put ur freedom in jeapordy. What would be so hard to walk in the store and take an mpeg of the serial or like some else said dial it to ur cell phone or hell just write down and if anything come up with something and say u thought that was the sku #. Right now to u its all good, cause you got skills. But end up in the back of a pigs car and u tell me how good it feels and how much skills u still got? Feel free to correct me if im wrong
