I need your help. I have lost my crysis 2 manual and the key. Although, i still play online because the CD key is stored, but if i need to reinstall the game for some reason, then I won't be able to play online. I have the DVD and the DVD cover with me which i think are of no use. I talked to a EA customer support guy but he said he can't help me. Is there anyway that i can recover my CD Key which is saved in the game.
Also, at the screen where you log in to multiplayer, there you can see the modify key option, does clicking on it show you the key that is currently there or not? because i am afraid if i click that then my key might be lost.

Losing your manual is just as bad as losing the DVD. Keep your stuff tight.

Yes, it will be lost if you click at it.
Yes, situation is bad.
Yes! I have a solution for you if your key is still stored in your game. Go to your crysis folder where crysis2.exe is contained.
See the Activation.exe, open it. Vuola! There's your S\N
OR!
You can go to the c:\ProgramData\Solidshield\bla-bla-bla...too many symbols. Where bla-bla-bla is a folder with like random symbols. And there is a file serial.txt. There is your serial.

It will give him only Premium Content serial, not actual game serial key. And in game login window show only last 4 digits of game key.
But he can email support, tell them that he as his Premium code and last 4 digits of game key, AND maybe they will give them rest of his game key o.O

I saided where the S\N are on localstore. IT'S NOT THE Premium Content serial. THERE ARE REAL SERIALS. Cause I don't have premium content. And as the case of this I don't have code for it.
In That Localstores of S\N I discovered only my real activated S\N
I Don't know from where did you get info that there are premium's but I think It's a bad source's. In activation there's "Used S\N" and in TXT file is just S\N. Where did you saw the word "premium" there?
When you putting your key in the game, it's activating it by activation.exe. And now your S\N for game is in Activation.exe And it's ACTIVATED.
Did you just opened activation.exe for just one, small, tiny time, for just 30 secconds? I see you didn't.

Sometimes with some games you can search thru the Windows Registry and find it.

Just launch "Regedit" type in "Crysis" or "Crysis 2" and start searching, click F3 to continue searching, until it's finished and/or you run across the game serial code. Now, this does'nt work with ALL games, and depending on the game, you may search for a good 5 to 10 minutes. Hopefully it's stored in there.

If not.. contact "Crytek" or "EA" .. they may be able to help you "reveal" your serial code.

If you do find your serial key.........
TYPE IT INTO THE EA DOWNLOAD MANAGER

You'll not only get an Electronic copy......you'll have your serial stored into your EA account on the download manager.

I have Limited Edition which means i have two serials and when i checked key in the way how you posted, i only have found my LE serial :X

heh go buy another copy your screwed if u lost your key.

That's bad for him...if he also have limited edition...
Hm...now I'm thinking about how the game stores the serials in that localstores. Maybe the last typed is contained there...
Anyway...if he have also limited edition, S/n have to be contained in his computer to authorize every time in MP. Maybe just LE have some another scheme of files three.

For some games the CD key is stored in your registry files somewhere. It is possible that Crysis 2 does something else with it, but its worth a shot.

Open our Registry editor by pressing:

Start[windowes button on the keyboard] + R

Then write "regedit" and press enter.

You should know that if you edit or delete any of these files you can really mess up your pc.

Try searching for Crysis 2 in there and see if you can find anything that might be the cd key. It will not be stored in a file called "cd key" so don't even bother searching for those exact words. Try on some other forums like http://www.tweakguides.com/Games.html or other forums with technically skilled people. They might be able to help you.

The reason EA support won't help you is because they cant know if you are trying to steal the key from somebody else's computer.
If you are unluckey the cd key is stored in an encrypted file, but we can't know until somebody finds out.

If you do find your serial key.........
TYPE IT INTO THE EA DOWNLOAD MANAGER

This!

Using the "activation" application inside the bin32 folder of your Crysis 2 directory (in Program Files) should show you your 20-character CD-key, showing you the key you've used and the details on how many activations it has left is why that application is there.
