Installing over an existing D2/LoD Installation

Archived from groups: alt.games.diablo2 (More info?)

I just got a new computer and without thinking, installed D2/LoD on it with
the same set of CD Keys as the machine I'm keeping. Sooo, will the Keys
from my other set of disks overwrite the existing keys upon reinstalling, or
do I need to play in the registry or something to make sure I end up with
the two different sets of Keys that I need to two-box if I want to?

Heh, thanks Gunde, but I'm not sure I've mastered running installations on
*separate* machines yet!

But I've noted the page just in case, anyway. :-)
