Lost CD Key, how can I contact one of the devs?
Hey guys, you remember me, don't you? Well, I think the CD key is in the manual and I threw it away a while ago. I usually record all my CD keys on my computer, but it just so happened I forgot this one.
Is there anything that can be done?

Re: Lost CD Key, how can I contact one of the devs?
If you have Dom3 still installed search for a file called "key" in your dominions directories, if you open that with a text editor there you go.
Otherwise contact Shrapnel Support, I'd say, not the devs.

Yes, I remember Argitoth... played him many times. He owns the game, or at least once did. No idea why anyone would throw away the manual though.

Pile your old unwanted manuals together and sell them on ebay next time. You'd be surprised how there's so many people interested in fantasy materials/books/manuals. Even those who don't have the game buy the stuff for their fantasy collections.
I rarely use the manual myself, but I keep the manual more as a trophy since this is one of my favorite games.

Re: Lost CD Key, how can I contact one of the devs?
Compared to what? More people seem to toss the discs than the manual.
And why oh why did you ever delete the game? The key is a plain text file in your dom3 directory. Its in a file called... umm... "key".
No old backup discs or anything?
But if you bought the game thru Shrapnel they should have record of the sale. Contact Customer Support.

Re: Lost CD Key, how can I contact one of the devs?
Dood! Gandalf! I Didn't even delete the game, guess what happened? I got a virus, right? Well, that wasn't the problem. The virus was bad enough that I wanted to reformat and do a fresh install of windows. Stupid me, I forgot to backup some very important stuff. Not that I would have backed up an install of Dominions, but the harddrive format is why the game got uninstalled...
..im going to try a file recovery.

Re: Lost CD Key, how can I contact one of the devs?
well here's the thing. I don't need a new CD key.
if only the CD key was recorded in some kind of system that allowed a developer or distributor to know what CD key belongs to what customer or purchase. actually, this is how it's done with a lot of online software I buy for digital audio composition.
