If you still have access to the computer it is installed on, there's a file in there somewhere that has them. I was able to get mine that way when my laptop died.

Probably unhelpful, but it's worth a shot.

It's located in the .ini file if you have like Lumi said the old computer.

Fail!

When I try and log into Hala or any copap server or other serves it gives me a message saying Unauthorized CD key.

I managed to get on one no name server though. No one else is using this CD key their directly from the instruction manuals.
I do have about 4 sets of CDs though, no idea how I got so many. Their all store bought too.

Any ideas?

What if I make a new account name? Could the DMs transfer my profile over?

I think the CD Keys are verified by Bioware, not us, so I doubt moving your account would help. You might try it, to see if you can log into Hala with a new test character.

The only other suggestion I have is to look at the nwncdkey.ini file in your NWN directory. You should be able to open it with Notepad. Make sure the keys listed there are exactly the same as the ones in your manual.

I tried making a new account but the C key is still unauthorized.

The CD keys in the INI file were the same in the manuals I have.

They are the same CD keys I've used since 2004+.

Would uninstalling and using different CDs maybe work? Like I have 4 different NWN play disks

As far as I know, CD keys should work with any game disk. Your best bet may be to get ahold of Bioware support, or get a new copy of NWN.
