Well it could be changed. But I'm not telling how because I don't know if you speak the truth.

Just reinstall the game and use the new code

[Wobble 1]

do a regedit and search for "OFP" "codemasters" and "Flashpoint"

under one of them you will find a value that matches your CD-key, just change it to the new cd-key

Nooo DON'T TELL THAT! Now all the w@rez d00ds will use it!

You won't find it in the registry. The last lan party we had, one guy hadn't installed v1.4. When he tried it, it told him to re-install the game. He brought his CD, but not the manual, so we looked in his registry to try and find the key, but its not there. He ended up having to call and have someone read it over the phone to him.

The problem is that the value in the registry is a binary representation of the CD Key -- it's not in plain text. It's also not just the hex codes of the characters in the key.

Since there is some algorithm to validate the CD Key that is being entered during installation, something similar is sure to exist for the registry entry. If you think that you can just change one of the bytes of the registry value to switch to a different CD Key, you'll likely find yourself unable to start OFP.

I don't care how many Warez D00ds find out about this registry entry, knowing about it doesn't do them any good.

Like the warez D00ds don't know about the system registry.

Dolts!

And I don't think this works. Me and a mate tried this once, changing his existing one to the same as mine. I don't remember that it worked. The cd key is stored somewher else. And flashpoint has more than one registry entry.
