KA4LxTITANx 8 Posted June 10, 2013 Okay guys so I have a little situation here. Recently my cd key was hacked or stolen I'm not really sure but one night I was on playing with my mates and I logged off and didn't even touch my computer till the next day when i logged on only to get the message "Error: Global Ban #dbb98e" Now if you have any idea what may have happened I'd like to hear about it, but that isn't my topic. I bought a new cdkey, and it's legit but i need help putting it in replace of my old cd key. Now before you tell me to use Darky's Key Changer, I will tell you that i cannot use it, the program simply does not work on my computer for some reason. So for example the version of the cd key i have is in this format: xxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx. Now regedit is in the format of xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx. My question is how do I convert this to that format using anything else than Darky's Key Changer? So a recap. For example i have a cd key that looks like this (fake random made up one ->): FR87-DZL98-72R76-1L94A. And then how would i convert it to the format of (another random one ->): 06 65 a9 94 c4 d3 a8 8b b2 c3 f8 d8 e6 53 d5? Once I have it in that format I can simply change my key manually in regedit. So any answers would be appreciated!-Thank you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
applejaxc 2500 Posted June 10, 2013 Take out the hyphens, add a space every 2 characters... oooh that was difficult... XD Seriously though: It's asking for the same number of characters, isn't it? So just rewrite it in the new format. 345-657 can be changed into 34 56 57. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That isnt quite how it works my friend. swing and a miss, but good try! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which only uses the letters A-F and the numbers 0-9. It also runs of a of a system using 16 as a base. So tell me how i will change it to that format when i have letters like Z and R?

The xxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx one has only 24. Before you post something so bold make sure you can count Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AmberHelios 2071 Posted June 10, 2013 (edited) where did you buy the key from the only way of getting the hex version is by installing it on another pc and exporting the key from the registry as said before most key changers are key stealers this would be the easiest way of changing the keysedit god the attitude from this onehe maybe wrong no need to go off on oneill help you fix your sticky caps lock tho Edited June 10, 2013 by AmberHelios 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And i have a solution, i am just going to have my friend whom i know very well input it into his darky's key changer then just read off what the hex key is to me over skype. (actually we have done this before but for some reason my arma 2 oa reverted to my original key) And i just have to wait a week until my friend can get on because his family moved back to australia so i can only talk to him on weekends because of the time difference. Thankyou though for an actual answer! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
