How to find my serial number of Supreme Commander - lost DVD

[Martin_PL]

I have a legal version of SC since 2007. I have no idea where my DVD is.
Is there any way to discover my serial number?

no

What is the reason you require old player to register on Steam? I guess I'm not tho only one who lost serial number...

You can try find your old key at system registry.
Open in windows - start - find programms or files >type there- regedit
(but take care for nothing to change there)
press at keyboard ctrl+f keys, and type at search field - supreme commander
after you must press F3 key till to see installation directory, and KEY field near(20 symbols must be).
Probably so

I've checked. There is nothing over there. I mean - there is a lot of "stuff" but no keys. It would be too easy to steal them.

[HighLander-TX]

its at bottom of registry, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\THQ\Gas Powered Games\Supreme Commander - Forged Alliance

[Martin_PL]

It is too long for serial number: 8 signs - 4 - 4 - 4 - 12.
Second one called "key" is also invalid.

What You think about to buy a 3 dollar Steam ? The Cost x Benefit is better than this.I ve done it.

I'm in the exact same case, I bought this game a long time ago, it's been installed for years on this computer, I do not use steam at all, FAF is the only game I play, I have over 5000 games of FAForever, and now for some reason I'm not allowed to play this game on FAForever without installing Steam (that I have no use for), and potentially buy a new copy of the game.

Can someone explain ?

You don't need to install steam, you can do everything over the website. You just need an account with FA. And dont forget to make your game library public (you can make it private again afterwards.)
