How to get your Lost CoH CD Keys Back and get CoH on Steam

[DerAlleinTiger]

If you're like me and you lost one or more of your old CoH CD keys and you don't want to pay for the same thing twice just to get the new Steam version, then follow these easy steps and you'll be blasting Jerry in no time! Please note that this requires you to have registered your game(s) online at some point in time BEFORE the THQ break-up. And to any moderator seeing this, this might be worth pinning for those who might have the same problem as me.

*IF YOU ALREADY HAVE YOUR CD KEYS, SKIP TO STEP 3*

1. Follow this link: https://cohtool.sega.co.uk/ - Just follow the instructions, choosing whatever options apply to you. If you choose the first option, an e-mail will be sent to you. Just go to the e-mail and click the confirmation link. A second e-mail will be sent will ALL of your CD keys.

2. Copy the CD keys (write them down, or copy+paste into a Word document, or whatever you want).

3. Click on the Library tab in Steam.

4. Click on the "Add Game..." button in the bottom-left corner.

5. Click on the "Activate Product on Steam..." from the menu.

6. Continue through the menus until it asks for the CD key. Simply copy the CD key into the box and then click "Next >".

7. Make sure that all options are selected, especially "Company of Heroes (new Steam version)".

8. Wait for all of the games to download and install.

9. Repeat for every CD key you have. Just keep everything checked off. If it has already downloaded one of the options, then it will detect this and skip over that option automatically. So just keep everything checked off to make sure you get everything.

10. Play Company of Heroes!

I hope this helps someone like it helped me. Credit goes to the user Miiiiiiiiiiiiiike for shoving me in the right direction towards the link.

*BUMP*

I have updated the post slightly in order to accomodate peope who already have their CD keys and merely want to get CoH on Steam.

To any moderators, I humbly request that you pin this thread in hopes that it might reduce the number of related threads that appear on this board. It may not be perfect, but it might help. I leave the decision yours to make at your own discretion, of course.

From what I understand, I believe this was set up only for CoH when the original servers were taken down.

Hmm - thanks to the poster - got my base game back (I only had my expansion keys on hand, not the original game - and that's the one I want to play the most).

I get "An error Occured" every time I submit my info on that site. Any ideas?

Well then, no CoH for me

Same thing, "An error occurred," is all I get.
