http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/Cd-keyGeneration/ Blizzard was very intelligent when they created their algorithms for the Cd-Key's that are used in Frozen Throne. Interesting enough I never found this algorithm before in any other game that used CD-Keys. There is a way to create working cd-keys from existing VALID cd-keys. It dont matter what condition your valid cd-key is in becuase it does not affect the proccess of creating the new one. What I found most interesting tho is once creating the working cd-key from an original valid cd-key, the generated one cannot be re-copied to a valid cd-key. Interesting enough, thus here is what blizzard did not what you to know. Here is the process of creating the new one: 1: To all the string characters (a-z), go up three in the alphabet. ie- [b] becomes [e], [a] becomes [d], ect... Apply this to ALL of the letters. If its [z] for example, start back at [a]. 2: To all the integers (1-9), add +3 to them. that wasnt so hard no was it? If the number is 9 to start off with start at 1 dont go to 10+. So lets say you got 8 on there. You would go 9,1,2. So the number in the cd-key would turn to 2 instead of 11. After 9 it goes directly back to one. so 9 ----> 1. :) I've got two cd-keys because of this process out of one. Now me and my friend play. The way I figured out this algorithm was through number crunching hundreds of Cd-keys contributed by voulenteers to find a pattern in some way. There is also one more way to get a deffenite valid cd-key copy from a original valid cd-key, but its complication's are hardly worth it for me to list here. If you got any troubles, ie- not working, send me an email and I shall see if you mis-calculated somewhere, which would be pretty pathetic :). If you intrigue me enough, I may even tell to you the other process, but try this one first and hollar at me if it dont work WITH (Not the original) But copied cd-key attached in your email.
