CD Key?

[Dan]

Archived from groups: alt.games.quake3 (More info?)

Does anyone have an original copy of Quake3 handy? Can you tell me where
the cd key is located? I've had my copy for years, and I've installed
Gamespy, and am getting "Invalid cd key" error messages, so I want to type
it in again, hoping that that'll fix it. I've found my game's cdcase, and
manual - but can't find any cd key? Is it on a seperate piece of paper? I
also can't find the cd itself, so I'm presuming it could be on that? If
anyone can just tell me where it's located, then I'll know what to look for.

Thanks for any help,
Dan.

Ah - stupid me! 😱) It was on the case - it didn't look like a typical
cdkey. Should have at least tried it before posting.

Thanks for the help,
Dan.

Make a backup of the file "Q3key" in *\Quake III Arena\baseq3. If you open it
with notepad or similar, you can see your cdkey there.

Quake will run without installing it, I have been using the same folder on D:
drive for about 2 years, and through at least half a dozen OS installs.

My key is on a sticker on the outside of the back of my jewel case Q3A
is in.
