Got my new laptop (Asus G2) and wanna start putting my games on it. But I'm missing my manual for BF2 so no CD key. I searched this forum, found this --> http://forums.bf2s.com/viewtopic.php?id=40553 . Helped me a little with the steps on how to recover your CD key if you've registered your game. Turns out I didn't register when I bought it. BUT.. I still have it on my desktop and it runs fine, so.. I go to register it on my desktop and when I get to the registrations screen it says my CD key is "invalid or already in use." Then it shows me a screen where I need to enter my CD key in with key info already filled in. It's WAY too long to be a valid key. So I try to register SF and it says the same thing and gives me the key it tried to register. I copy and paste them both to notepad to see if I can compare them and decypher what is actually the key. Here they are:

Is there anyway I can convert these to my key? I know it's prolly retarded to post the "keys" but I guess I'm that trusting, heh. It's not hex except for the middle part which translates to "This is the description." I know the vanilla BF2 key is numbers only. Isn't there somewhere in my registry that I can get my key from still? Thanks a lot for any help you can provide!!
Edit: I found the key in the registry, but it's the exact same key that I've pasted on here. So it's of no use like it is. I need to find out how to decrypt it.
