Lost my little booklet with my BF2 & SF CD-key, and need to reinstall due to some hardware issues.
Are the CD-keys stored in the PCs registry?

ETA: found it, The path for 64bit versions of Windows (Vista x64 and XP x64 editions) is different:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Electronic Arts\EA Games\Battlefield 2\ergc
But the number is alot longer then a CD key 721 characters long!

Seem the processes of patching BF2 results in the CD Key being encrypted, hence my one being so long
But just got another copy off ebay for £1.04
Dose using a second hand one present any trouble, if the key has been used before?
