CD-Keys

You will find the 26-character CD-Key for Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne printed on a white sticker which is affixed to the front of the CD case. If the sticker with the CD-Key is missing, return the game to the place of purchase.

The CD-Key is required each time you install Warcraft III Frozen Throne. For this reason, we recommend that you manually copy the CD-Key to a text document, and save that text document in a secure location. Treat the CD-Key as confidential information. Never reveal it to anyone, and avoid installing the game with the same CD-Key on more than one computer at a time.

If for any reason, you should lose the CD-Key, the CD-Key should fail to authenticate on Battle.net, or the CD-Key becomes smudged, we will replace the CD-Key only under the following conditions.

  1. You mail the CD case to us.


  2. If it has been less than 90 days since you purchased the game, you must mail us a photocopy of the sales receipt. If it has been more than 90 days since you purchased the game, you must instead mail us a $10.00 Money order in U.S. funds.


  3. All items mentioned above must be mailed to the following address along with a note which explains that you would like a replacement CD-Key for Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne.
