Hey guys, so i lost my manuel and everything. all i have is the install disk and the play disk. Civ IV is installed on my computer. I was wondering if there is anyway i can find out my CD-Key without the packaging or manual, like somewhere within the program files. I installed the game a while ago with the cd key, and i want to install the game on my other computer. is there a way i can find out cd-key? thanks in advanced, guys.

The cd key one is easy :)
The game does not have one :) it just requires the original disc to be in the drive.

no no no i know that :) im sorry i was probably not clear. okay- I bought civ IV, installed it a longggggggg time ago, with the cd key and everything. since then i lost the packaging with the cd key, but i still have the two disks. civ is still installed on my computer. the problem is, if i want to reinstall civ on my new computer, i need a cd -key, which i lost. is there anyway for me to see the cd-key i entered way back when in the program files of my installed civ? thanks in advanced

I can only repeat myself:
This game does not have a cd-key - there is none and never was.

They're not lying, there really is no cd-key required. Thread closed.
