HOW to save your cd-keys/blizzard production

[Mixter]

Hi everybody,
This tutorial works for most of games released by Blizzard.
The goal of my post is to explain you how to be able to play your games (actually it works for : StarCraft, StarCraft Battlechest, StarCraft Anthology, Warcraft III, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, Warcraft Battlechest, Diablo II, Diablo II: Lord of Destruction, Diablo II Battlechest, I'm sure It will work for Diablo III and Starcraft II), if you lose the CD, burn the cd-keys,...

Ok, so, for a few months, Blizzard allows to every1 to create :
A Blizzard Account
(for free of course)

I'm gonna explain you every-steps (if you found any problems):

[/!\] READ THIS FIRST :
Pay attention when you fill everything.
THE FIRST NAME/LAST NAME/SECRET QUESTION ARE VERY IMPORTANT.
IF YOU DON'T REMEMBER ONE THEM, DON'T FORGET YOUR PASSWORD X_X
[/!\] TY FOR READING


On the right of your screen "New user"

* click "Create Account"
* Select your countries (it's for the language of the game, so don't select Chinese of w/e)
* Scroll down until the end of conditions of utilization
* "I accept the term of use.."
* click "Continue"
* enter e-mail address (right one plz), choose your password (at least be composed of one letter and one number and has a length between 8 or 16 characters, your secret question.
* click "continue" once again
* the next step wants you to fill the chan with personal infos (put w/e you want just care about the language)
* zip code must be composed of 5 numbers like 00000
* then I advice you to accept the 2 offers, I don't have to (beta testing and blizzard insider)
* hit continue
* you have the choice to edit your personal informations
* agree with "accept the collections and use of your personal data..."
* Hit activate then wait while processing
* finish
* right now you are able to login with your blizzard account (e-mail/pwd)

Once you are in click "Games" on your right.
Then click "Add a new game"
Enter the CD-KEY, click "add"

Now you would see your game with the option "[View game key]" and at the right, DOWNLOAD with the logo of Windows and Apple.
Click on one of them to start the download.

After clicking Windows/Apple, you will automatically download a program :
downloader_name_of_ur_game_.exe
It will allow you to download your game :D. (the cd-key is required for installation, click on [View game key])
Then download the last patch of your game via blizzard.com and install it.

now you are done.

I hope you liked, any suggestions are welcome.


Have a nice day

I think he was thinking that this is some sort of "cheat" to get the games for free.

[JeweyK]

You mean like googling some special words to get something for free.

Was I obvious enough?

Can extract your keys from Warcraft III using this application if you've forgotten/misplaced it.

I don't get it. Please post a screen-by-screen explanation of how to fill out registration forms. A youtube video would be great too, this is all so confusing.
