    Subject: PID & CD Key Matching?

    I have 3 original copies of Age of Empires 3, 2 of them are registered online for multiplayer games and 1 PID. how can I found out which CD Key matches the PID currently installed.

    Can I delete in the registry the PID to force AOE to ask me to input the CD key, depending on which key I enter will this give me a different PID number?

    the PID is generated by the cd-key.

    You need to completely uninstall the game and make sure the registry entry is gone when you try to reinstall with the other cd-key.
