Activating original key?

[Silverbot01]

I found my original call of duty deluxe edition box set jewel case with the discs in it, and the activation key is in there. It didn't work on steam, I figured. Does anyone know if theres a way to go through activision/steam with this key to get a steam code though?

I doubt it. This is a ~11-12 year old game, I don't think they'll be checking support tickets for cd-keys anymore.

Only a few games have CD to Steam key activation. Call of Duty 1/UO/2/3 do not support the CD key to Steam Key activation. If you want a steam copy, unfortunately you have to buy it from the steam store directly.

Here's a list of games that CAN be activated from CDs though.
