I have CD KEY But I don't have the disk!

[WolfyTheBEAST]

Hi!

So I brought world at war by disk quite a while back now and I've had it in storage for a bit, so I have lost the Disk to install/play the game.

I have the CD Key of the little manual they give you, but I don't know if I can play the game anymore, is there anyway?

and No the cd key dosen't work on steam, I've tried multiple times typing it in Carefuly and changing letters and numbers around, but it dosen't work.

I would love if someone could help me!

Might have to buy one on eBay, you can get the game with a code for under $10:

Well IF u have the legit\original key, then you most certainly can download a backup of World at War and when installing you then use your original key.
Otherwise im sure u can get the digital copy of the game fairly cheap as shown above, check steam sales too.

What do you mean by backup? Like a torrent or something? Because I never backed up my game xD

Sorry, didn't realize this was the UK site and posted an auction in the USA. You might be able to find a retail ISO somewhere that you can download as Ibian mentioned.

Not sure we can use the T word on these forums but it is not illegal to download a game that you have a key for so that might be one way to get it.

Oh sorry. Uh yeah I've tried to look up a world at war "T Word" but all of them are full of cracks for the game, and I can't seem to find one where there isn't any cracks.

 

[BadAsAl]

As long as it is not precracked, you can install it normally using the key, the cracks are usually separate. Some of the T software will let you only download what you need, so you can even just not even download the crack.

My comment on using the T word wasn't to tell you off, just we need to be careful since moderators might shut down a post that is talking about that. But we are not trying to help you steal it so it should be okay.

Activision/Tyerach (spelling?) do NOT distribute games by Torrent. They only sell it through approved vendors, as mentioned Steam. As mentioned, you can try and buy a 'used' copy on Ebay (yes there is a Ebay UK edition too) or similar sites BUT MUST BE YOUR COUNTRY EDITION. Trying to us a different country edition violates the Trademark and the key will not work. Otherwise you need to BUY THE GAME ALL OVER AGAIN, and highly suggest Steam (reason Steam is successful, never worry about losing the key or CD for games).

Any discussions about 'other sources' than the approved 'channels' the maker sells through is PIRATED editions and is violation of TH's TOS.
