Need to transfer CD Key; Steam stuck on "Requesting Key"

Hey guys,

Recently my main PC has bit the dust for the time being, and I'm attempting to play cRPG on my laptop. My main PC cannot boot, either due to a fried motherboard or PSU, so I cannot open a hex editor and withdraw my CD Key in that manner, and when I attempt to view my CD Key via steam, I am met with an everlasting message of "Requesting Key"

I've tried numerous fixes to this apparently common problem, but nothing has worked. I'm wondering if it is possible for Meow, Nessaj, or some other helpful demi-god admin to private message me my CD Key.

If anyone could share insight on how to solve this error on Steam's part, that would be helpful as well. I have tried:

a) Deleting all Steam files on my machine besides apps and the steam .exe and reinstalling Steam
b) Verifying my warband game cache files
c) Deleting only specific files in the Steam folder that seem to help other people
d) Putting my router in DMZ mode while attempting to retrieve my CD key
e) Making sure my laptop is plugged in, turned on, etc etc (all the "lol restart ur pc" things)

I was told by a clan member that you can use a warband CD key on a maximum of 2 machines; there is a small chance that I used it on an older laptop that is now also deceased, but I am not sure. I would think that I would receive some sort of error message instead of simply hanging on "Retrieving Key", but lolsteam.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Yes, Taleworls mucked up so Steam cannot access your key from their servers either.

Wait until they have fixed their problems and you will be able to retrieve it.
For all the non-believers, look no further than this thread for proof that while strat battles are won/lost in NA3/EU3, strat wars are won and lost on the forums.

I suppose that's possible, or even likely, but I was having this same problem all day yesterday as well and I believe the taleworlds servers weren't having problems at that time.

Well, time to hurry up and wait.
