You look in the mpq. The most brilliant WC3 hackers have been at WC3 for YEARS, and haven't found it. Its quite simply UNFINDABLE, or NOT THERE

GIVE UP, BUG PARENTS <_<

Don't talk about things you don't know. Blizzards CD-key system differs from the general. Of course after installing it you can use any WC3-cd to play, but that's not what we're talking about. For installing, you need the CD's specific CD-key, not any key from any other cd. That's how Blizzard keeps the control about users in b.net. The key-ban Blizzard uses for cheaters won't work that efficiently if the cheater could simply reinstall WC3 and use another key for his CD. The key is unique to the CD, so if the key is banned, he'll never be able to play with this CD again, he would need to buy a new one.

(Just a clarification)
What if you bought a new original WC3&WCFT & burned them before you have installed the cds then gave the burned cds to your friend. So the question now becomes, can the two of you register under the same cd key?

Guess what will happen when b.net detects the same cd-key two times. The key will be blocked asap, so you won't be able to use it.

Meh. Just go shell out 15 bucks for a new cd key. Alot simpler and quicker than all this.

Why not contact Blizzard? I think there is a policy concerning lost of CD-key.

the policy is: ask within 90 days of purchase and send in your receipt, OR, pay 10 bucks for a new one after u send in your cd-case or manual

That applies to those who had their keys leaked so they dont lose their account when someone else signs on with the same key. 

15 bucks isnt the end of the world. Like I mentioned before, you should be happy thats all you have to pay for loosing something you shouldnt. So take the the hint. Locked.
