So, I've had the game installed on my computer for about 6 years. I finally upgraded my laptop, and I wanted to install the game, as it's one of my favorites. But noo, I need a cd key. It's been so long since I installed it I didn't even remember it required one. I never registered the game, because I just never got around to it. I don't want the disc to turn into a glorified coaster. Anyone know what I could do to fix my issue. I know, I can just find a torrent of the game, and feel justified as I did buy it. But I don't like the issues that torrenting causes. (potential viruses, bugs in the programs, malware, etc etc etc.) Especially when I have the disk sitting right next to me. To be honest, I didn't even realize it was Stardock that made Galactic Civ untill I looked at the disk for the reinstall. That should tell you how long it's been since I have even played it. though it's always been on my computer.
