How to backup your registration
« on: June 10, 2007, 08:03:32 am »
If you ever need to backup your registration key (Transferring to a new computer, lost email with original key, etc.) you should be able to run the following on any version of Windows to backup your key:

Code: [Select]
regedit /e c:\soldat.reg "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Soldat"
If you need to, you can change where it's saved to by changing C:\soldat.reg to wherever you wish to save it to. You'll be able to then run the .reg file to register again when needed.

To be sure that you have a safe backup do as I did.
Make 3 backups.
1. a backup on the HDD
2. a password encrypted upload of the key to a reliable webhost (in case of HDD failure)
3. print the key out and attach it to the inside of your computer cabinet :)

Maybe a little overkill but it works XD

Thanks for posting this command line.  It might be useful for me one day.

You write it in start->run, then the soldat.reg file will be created in the root C:\ folder.

And then you back up HDD starts burning, taking your computer with it (Including the paper you stuck on the inside of your case xD)

Yeah, this would be the best way to save your .reg :)
A friend of mine gave me his .reg as a birthday present :D pretty sweet :P
(I bet that at least 2/3 people's playing soldat have a downloaded .reg -.-) cant you make some sort of system that if a .reg is used multiple times... you cannot play online with that reg?
