Use old ID for the GOTY

[Grimpac 0]

I rebuyed OFP, because I wanted to reinstall it. I bought the GOTY edition. But now I can see, it only use one CD Key. But I got my old CD keys and I am not able to use my old OFP ID. Is there a possibility to use it?

I hope you understand me.

No.. The ID is linked to the CD key.

I think otherwise. Unless you've already reinstalled you can export (or write down) your old encrypted key from windows registry and then put it back there after you've reinstalled from the goty disks.

Or you could just copy the data manually, updates might not work though.

Is it possible and am I allowed to do this?

It is certainly possible and I don't think that it counts as bypassing copy protection (that would be illegal in some countries) because you will be installing with the goty cd-key and then just change the encrypted key in the registry to your old one afterwards.

At least I've recovered OFP that way after reinstalling windows.

Thanks, maybe some words from the official side?

Why do you even need to use the old keys?

Seems pretty pointless to me unless you want it to have them running on 2 different machines.
