Sometimes it gets irritating when you have to reinstall Frozen Throne after reformatting your hard disk and then you realized that you have lost the CD Key. But don’t worry, if you have at least one working CD Key, you can use it as a base to generate more working ones.

For example, check out the post (which was found here) below: (PLEASE REFER TO THE END OF THIS POST)

Blizzard was very intelligent when they created their algorithms for the Cd-Key’s that are used in Frozen Throne. Interesting enough I never found this algorithm before in any other game that used CD-Keys. There is a way to create working cd-keys from existing VALID cd-keys. It dont matter what condition your valid cd-key is in becuase it does not affect the proccess of creating the new one. What I found most interesting tho is once creating the working cd-key from an original valid cd-key, the generated one cannot be re-copied to a valid cd-key. Interesting enough, thus here is what blizzard did not what you to know. Here is the process of creating the new one:

1: To all the string characters (a-z), go up three in the alphabet. ie- [b] becomes [e], [a] becomes [d], ect… Apply this to ALL of the letters. If its [z] for example, start back at [a].

2: To all the integers (1-9), add +3 to them. that wasnt so hard no was it? If the number is 9 to start off with start at 1 dont go to 10+. So lets say you got 8 on there. You would go 9,1,2. So the number in the cd-key would turn to 2 instead of 11. After 9 it goes directly back to one. so 9 —-> 1.

I’ve got two cd-keys because of this process out of one. Now me and my friend play. The way I figured out this algorithm was through number crunching hundreds of Cd-keys contributed by voulenteers to find a pattern in some way. There is also one more way to get a deffenite valid cd-key copy from a original valid cd-key, but its complication’s are hardly worth it for me to list here. If you got any troubles, ie- not working, send me an email and I shall see if you mis-calculated somewhere, which would be pretty pathetic :). If you intrigue me enough, I may even tell to you the other process, but try this one first and hollar at me if it dont work WITH (Not the original) But copied cd-key attached in your email. Thank you ladies and gentlemen for your time..

Good luck and safe travels.

Ok. Quick Question - WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS POST? Just a hint - the algorithm doesn’t work.
