Recovery & editing of serial/cd-key guide

Since some people found it useful, i thought i could upload it here, making it easier to find :p

Threw together a guide on how to recover and change/edit your serial-key, hopefully it helps :)

To view your cd-key there are several options, but to view the one your actually using you have to enter 'regedit' (look under 'Editing your serial-key' to see how) . Jump directly to the 'Editing your serial-key' if you are sure you got your hands on the correct cd-key.

Recovery
The first and easiest step to view the serial-key you bought, is to go to their main webpage -> view games -> view serial-key. However to do this, your forum-account most be connected to your key.

(click to show/hide)

Most likely you will not find your key on the webpage, as few people go through the trouble of adding it. But fear not, if you have bought it directly from TW, they have sent you a mail, which you can find easily by typing in the company name (two options: Avagate or eSellerate) in the search field:

Email (hotmail):
(click to show/hide)

If you got it through steam, you can find your key by doing this;
(click to show/hide)
(click to show/hide)

If all of the above fails or you find this option easier, you can follow TW's serial recovery;
(click to show/hide)
(click to show/hide)


Editing your serial-key

Step 1: press the windows button or start
Step 2: In the search/run field type "Regedit"
Step 3: Locate HKEY_CURRENT_USER and double click it
Step 4: Double click software
Step 5: Double click Mountandbladekeys
Step 6: Double click serial_key & add the key connected with your character

Good luck =D

mhm

Characters are bound to cd-keys. So if you have been playing on his account, and you are getting your own cd-key, you will lose your original character. Your friend will keep your character on his account/cd-key.

The solution to your problem, would either be to switch serial-key with your friend (if he is not playing or do not mind), or beg chadz to switch over your character to your new cd-key.

Great guide, very helpful.

Thank you Babelfish
Thank you  :D

Even if chadz is a good guy, its a long-shot, but try logging on webirc or regular irc if you have that. Tell chadz about your situation and if possible get your friend to confirm.

This is what the guide actually does. Shows the relation between cd-keys and characters as well as the fact that characters are stored in the database, not on your own computer.

Thx for this guide.

when i bought cd-key, they gave me 2 different keys. 22 and 16 letters. So after reinstalling the game i used the second one(22 letters is for older versions i guess). And didn't even know that the game thinks they are different. So after changing key, using this guide, cRPG works fine again.

I got it too but standalone and i didn't buy it. I did the free trial and with bloodworks my acc was changed to a full acc as soon as i paid the monthly subscription. :D

is the serial key for this game 4x4 or 5x5?

i bought it over steam when steam had fucked up the serial key system, so i don't know if my serial key is right :D
