How do I recover my Halo PC product key?

    (This was in the child board but nobody posts there and I need a decent answer by tomorrow).

    I'm a member of the clan who owns my favorite server. Well, my friend got into the server (using my copy of the game, as he always does) and started trolling. He managed to get me banned. My only solution is to reinstall the game entirely and see if that fixes it. Unfortunately, I lost my product key somewhere and I can't find it. The only thing I can find on the Internet is a solution requiring this "regedit" program. I tried that and it's too complicated for me. What's a better way I can recover the product key? I don't want to call Microsoft. Also, based on what I can find on the Internet, I can't buy the game in stores anymore.

    UPDATE (About 10 mins after post): I received a PM saying "Go get a keygen." I'm not getting a keygen, I want to recover the product key that came with my copy of the game.

    UPDATE (12/3/11): Fortunately, there is a clan roster, and thankfully, I'm still listed.

    Thanks for answers.

    its on a sticker on the inside of the game case. It probably won't get you unbanned though, you'll probably need a different key.

    That's exactly my point. I installed it back in May, and I had the sticker. Now I can't find the sticker.

    Are you able to find it through regedit? I thought you could of found installed CD Keys that way, or at least thats what i remember hearing.

    I found on the Internet that you can find it through regedit, the problem is regedit is too complicated for me to operate.

    There are two softwares you can use to recover any keys you've lost, Use either product key explorer or recover keys, they scan your computer looking for licenses on it it's very useful when you have lot of softs

    I have links to both of them, but can I give a link on RomU? (It's on megaupload, and they're warez)

    warez are not permitted on RomUlation. Either way I doubt recovering would help because its probably the key that gets blacklisted.

    Could be a key ban, could be an IP ban, but IDK what it actually is. I'm just trying to get unbanned without having to buy a new game, which unfortunately can only be done off of eBay. I can't just go out to WalMart and buy it anymore.

    an IP ban would be pointlessly easy to bypass, its unlikely to be that.
