Something else I brought up in private, but will share now..
Even if it was feasable to reverse the CD-Keys
1) Why? It's obviously in use by someone.
2) Again, why? There are numerous CD key generators, and it's algorythm isn't very hard to follow. Using it, you could simply create a file of EVERY serial, and try em till you find a unique valid one. (ie: fire em at the WOL server (when it's up) till it OK's it).
3) Reversing the CRC (or even generating a list of ALL serials + CRC's of those to look up against) would take longer than to simply create the list of all serials without crc's, and validate online.
The keygens have been around since the beginning of Renegade. Yes, most keys it create won't work.. Some will. If you have that much time on your hands to try to 1) steal a key, or 2) generate a valid WORKING one, then you obviously don't care about Renegade (because instead of doing that, you could be PLAYING, or HELPING the community).
If you are really desperate for a valid key, do what I did.. BUY it. Hell, with it's price in stores currently, buy 10. I bought it (like all other C&C games) when it first came out at full price. Now I've seen it in local stores for $5-10.
