Change CDkey NFS HP (who knows is God)

alexlook · 12-30-2003, 09:00 AM

Hi guru,

Here is my problem that no help yet found on the net.
My cyber cafe has 40 PC linked up. Since I prepared that with Ghost, Windows 98,..., Need for Speed Hot Pursuit (NFSHP), I did not type in individually cdkeys. Now problem happened that LAN-playing NFSHP is not allowed because of cdkey conflict.

Any savior to help me how to change setting in each PC's registry to overcome this - I have cdkeys on hand.

( I had found some relevant entries in Registry under NFS but seemed encrypted. Thanks.

If you have the CD keys, what is the problem with putting them in and establishing play?

he would have to reinstall it on all of the PCs, hes just wanting to know if there is a way to change it in the registry

i dont know about the registry, but a good, fast way to get software to alot of PCs really fast is active directory, with MSIs, im not sure how well that would work with needing a bunch of different cd-keys, we use it here at work, but all of our software has the same CD-keys for each PC, we just buy more licenses

i had this happen to my game once, i ended up reinstalling the whole operating system. reinstalling the game still kept the old cd-key somewhere inside the operating system. after i used the new cd-key to install the game i still could not play multiplayer games. you should find some forums that deal specifically with games and ask for help.
