I'm going to be get a new computer soon and I'll have to reinstall all my games. Sadly I bought Counter Strike Source so long ago and I've lost the little CD key+control sheet that came with it. I do have a legit steam account.
I was wondering if I will need my CD key or if I can install it via steam thus avoiding the Cd-key thing.
Or if there was a way for me to find the CD-key on my computer. Yes I have looked at regedit but the numbers in the "key" section didn't look right. They were only numerical and on my hl2 and TF2 they were "12345678901234".. Soo.. yeah..
Basically,
1. if I install these games on a new computer can I use steam to do it to by-pass the Cd-key inquiry?
2. If 1 is not possible is there a way to find my CD-keys on my current computer. (The regedit keys didn't seem to be right.)
