No, AoE2 DE is a complete new game

You find keys to your grandpas first Mercedes and want to get a new one.

Try not to be insulting. Some people genuinely think this is the case without realising how absurd the proposition is. Try to be more considerate and simply inform them that it's not the case - Like the first two replies.

I had other old games that reinstated my keys on to steam, Dawn of War 1 is one of those games were relic kindly gave me a key.

That's because when you install the game through the disk with steam pulled up, it automatically adds the game to your library as a retail copy. That's also with Dawn of War 1, with a disk for it and getting the exact game.

As others have pointed out, AoE2 Definitive Edition is actually an entirely different game.

Some games indeed do offer redeeming their old keys on Steam or similar. I e.g. redeemed my key for Stalker: Shadow on Chernobyl on GOG and got the game there for free. Same with LA Noire and GTA IV on the Rockstar Launcher.

However, AoE 2 is not one of those games. DE is drastically different to the old version.

i have the original disk along with the book and disk for creator... it looks nice on the shelf. I'd suggest buying the whole thing on a steam sale day.
