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?

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.

Dude, why did you throw away your manual??

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.

dood naay! i didn't sell it... I threw away the manual because it was just a big book i never opened and I moved twice since I purchased the game and threw away a lot of stuff.

i mean why do they have to put the CD key in the manual... gash

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.

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.

seems Argitoth hasn't been the only person with this problem recently...

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.
