I'm having a LAN at my place in a couple days, and was wondering if a few of you guys had Starcraft keycodes lying around, that my friends could use.

I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks guys,
Just drop me a PM if you can lend a key, and bump this post.

I think $7-8 at Circuit City...
If they still have them for sale...

Couldn't you just do spawn installs? The only reason you need a keycode as far as I'm aware is for internet based play.

You don't need different CD keys for Starcraft LAN, last I checked. Did they change that?

only 1 cd key per pc can be olnine at 1 time. aka the above cd key means 1 palyer on line at 1 time.

On one server (or coast, or whatever you call them), yes. But you can have four people using one CD-key so long as one uses West Coast, one East Coast, one Europe, and one Asia. Of course, that doesn't help with the op's problem but if you don't care about playing with friends it doesn't matter.

You can play online with the Spawn mode. The person with the cd has to be the creator and the spawns can only join that person's game.

We want to play with other people over the net though.

Other people can still join your game. The only limitation is that the game creator has to be the one with the cd key. The spawns, as well as random people on the internet, can join.

Are you sure Jon? I thought it booted you when you tried to get on Battle.Net if your CD key was bogus/in use.

I'm like a thousand percent sure. If you intalled it as spawn mode, you'll get onto battle.net fine. The logo next to your name in the chatrooms will say Spawn. And then you can only join a game created by the guy whose cd key you used for the spawn mode.
