i recently bought fear extraction point and when i went to install it i saw that the origional fear was not there. i went to install the original fear and couldnot find the validation codes. i own the game, have all the disks, but i cannot play it becuase i lost the validation codes . does anyone know of a way to get new or different codes?? i looked around, but people are telling me that i am going to have to buy the origional game again just for the codes.
if anyone knows how i could get around this i would be very greateful
So you're saying you lost your CD key? You're pretty screwed then. I keep several copies of each of my CD keys. The original boxes and sleeves are in a craftsman tool box that locks, and I copied the keys to a notepad (the ones you write on with a pen) and USB drive.
If this is not the case, please elaborate on what really happened.
A CD KEY is the code that comes with a game, it's not called a validation code to my knowledge...
As Llama_man said, contact the publisher and offer to send back the original CD and maybe a copy of the receipt. You'll probably need to pay shipping both ways, but that should be cheaper than buying the game again.
I use a permanent marker to write the CD/DVD key on the disk itself just in case I loose the manual or the plastic case.
