Unfortunately, I never made a backup copy of the CD. On top of that, my only copy of the serial number and authorization key was also in my briefcase at the time. As anal as I usually am about having backup copies of software, I can't believe that I never copied my D5 CD. I installed D5 on my WinXP machine about a year ago, but I also have the old hard drive that has Win98 with D5. Does anyone know if the s/n and authorization key are stored in the registry or something? Even if I can get a copy of the media, it's no good without the s/n and key. Thanks in advance, Kris Back to top Cary Moore Guest Posted: Fri Jan 07, 2005 10:13 am    Post subject: Re: Is there a way to retrieve the s/n and authorization key Kris King wrote: Quote: Does anyone know if the s/n and authorization key are stored in the registry or something?

HKCUSoftwareBorlandDelphi7.0 has LMLIC and LMKEY entries (or HKLMSoftwareBorlandDelphi7.0), you may have something simillar in your registry for D5. Cary.

There doesn't seem to be anything quite so easy for D5. I did a registry search for LMLIC and LMKEY. Not found. I even searched for "KEY", but got nothing relevant.

May be you even registered your copy of D5 on a community account online, then it should not be a problem to work something out. -- Holger Kris King wrote: Quote: Thanks for the response. I checked.

As far as getting replacement media, the first email from Borland indicated that they would sell replacement media to me for $15. A week later, I received an email from Borland that started with "Dear Valued Customer, ... we no longer sell the product you desire and it is currently not available for download. ...we do not have replacement cds any longer for this product". Hmmm. It seems to me the part that they "valued" was the part that came from my wallet. I'll bet Microsoft has still got a copy of Visual Basic 6.0 lying around. Thanks for the response Holger.
