Backing up CloneCD Key

[Otaku-kun]

My HDD containing the CloneCD Key crashed last week.
Is there any way to backup the key from Windows's Registry?

If you legally owned CloneCd this wouldn't be a problem.

You wouldn't happen to assume that I own the retail version, wouldn't you?

For crying out loud, I got this forum's url from elby web site.
With this kind of advice, I am better off asking elby Tech Support directly.
What good would it be to ask here then?

They won't help. This is taken directly from their website:

Please store your CloneCD registration key at a safe place for the case of a system crash! Lost keys will not be replaced!

Thank for your help.

I guess they operate the same way as CDRWin.
At least with CDRWin, I know which file to back up.

I guess leaving my file server on 24-hrs a day for looooong period of time is not a good idea without a back up.
It's been on only a couple years, WD drive sucks.

contact their tech support - if you have the name you used, the company and all applicable information towards the cdkey - im sure they are reasonable.

We lost our key to version4 and Clone Cd would not help us at all, and they suggested that we buy another at $47 so we bought a key for version 3 on eBay for $10.00 and it works almost as well as V4--this will be the last key we will buy directly from Elaborate Bytes, from now on we will only go thru the secondary market.
