How To Install Diablo 2 Cd Key

To start get here is the link to PorjectEtals wiki about the subject.

Use two 16 digit keys below to install Diablo II and Diablo II Lord of Destruction. 1.Diablo II CDKEY (follow keys are sample). 4 - Enter your 16 digit Diablo 2 CD-Key into the box and click REDEEM CODE. If you wish to install Diablo 2 - Lord of Destruction too, do the same as in step 3 and 4, but use your Lord of Destruction CD-Keys instead.

Quote: The problem with generating a false CD key is that Battle.net will not work. It somehow checks for a valid CD key and if your key fails, you can't play a Battle.net game.

Since I bought the game to play on Battle.net, this is not a viable option. Do you think each CD has a unique key built into it?

What happens is there is some (ostensibly one-way) algorithm to compute CD keys based on a seed (e.g. A serial number). For each CD they package, they put in the next serial number and print up a sticker with the key generated with that serial number. So, each CD ships with a unique key, but it is quite possible to create non-unique keys. Furthermore, to stymie crackers, it's my guess that there are actually 2 different algorithms used to verify keys: one for the single player game, and another for battle.net.

The wily crackers can easily dissassemble the first and create a keygen for it, but it's very difficult to reverse engineer the second without cracking the server itself. I'm guessing the 'actual' key generator that Blizzard uses combines both algorithms into a single key. Anyway, what I'm saying is that in theory you could go buy another copy of Diablo II, get the CD-key from that copy, and return it.

Then, that key is free to use, at least until someone buys that box. In theory you could use this method to play it until Blizzard sends you a replacement disk, assuming you have a backup copy of the original. I should also add that I broke down and bought the game at Fry's last night. I will go on record and say that this is the ONLY time that I have purchased a game twice (both copies for myself). The game was on sale for 29.99 I think. But here is some food for thought.

Blizzard has to know that they are going to sell more games by putting the stupid ass cd key on the jewel case. Does anyone even use Jewel cases anymore? The gaming community is not the most responsible segment of the computer users demographic model. Kelly clarkson mr know it all lyrics. I bought the game twice.

If you want to try this route, there's a way to avoid screwing some other person over. Scratch the CD badly, and give that as the reason for the return.
