Halo CD Key Recovery Tool

[Sel]

Except the CD only checks that you have a valid CD key, it doesnt have to be the one that came with it.

Also, you could just mount an ISO, so thats stupid >:|

what if u already accidently uninstalled halo before u remembered that u lost the key? the thing wint work then

[legionaire45]

Nope, it will go back through time and collect the key before you deleted the file :3.

Just telling you guys this app doesn't work any more. Awesome idea, but i think the new update has blocked it. if you can release a new version that would be awesome.

uh, the program works by getting the key from the registry, has nothing to do with what version of halo is installed.

i just tried it, and it worked fine on 1.08.

get the latest framework like the instructions say.

This tool needs to be updated for 64-bit versions of Windows.

I just tried running it on Vista, but the it gave me the error "No Halo registry values found."

It turns out that Windows Vista x64 stores the DigitalProductID under:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Halo CE

Instructions

To use this program, simply download the .exe file and run it. The CD key will appear automatically.
Double click the key to copy it to the clipboard.

Updated v2.0 - Works for both 32bit and 64bit.

I figured Ghost probably wont have time to update it to work for 64 bit and he might have lost the original code. So I coded it. Algorithm is Ghosts though, I take no credit for that .

o.0 so many people thank you for this app being released. Here i knew about it for months now. Well all I have left to say is thanks for releasing it.

For those that are getting an error message about no registry data found (I had the error too), are you running 64-bit Windows? If you are, your Digital Product ID is in a different key. You will find your DPID in "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Halo". To get your Key via the CD Key Recoverer, you will have to right click the DigitalProductID in the key and modify. Highlight all the contents and right click -> copy. Next, navigate to "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\" Right click the "Microsoft" folder (key) and Select New -> Key. Name the new folder (key) "Microsoft Games" without the quotes. Right click THAT key and create new key. Name that "Halo" without the quotes. Next, in the field on the right with the newly created Halo key opened, right click -> New -> Binary Value. Name that new item "DigitalProductID". Finally, right click the binary -> modify. Right click the "value data" field and paste the contents you copied earlier. Hit ok. Your CD Key recoverer should work now if you had Halo PC installed under a 64-bit OS.

Seriously its like people don't fucking LOOK THROUGH THE GOD DAMN THREAD BEFORE POSTING.

This is ridiculous, I do not see why everyone just skips the pages and goes directly to post, only to realize seconds later THEIR QUESTION WAS ALREADY ANSWERED.

Im sorry, but I just get pissed about shit like this.
