Code/CD Key Activation History?
So rummaging through an old image of my PC I find a text document with a lot of older activation keys for games, some I have on steam others I don't.

Is there any way to see what/how/if you used a code to acquire my gaming liscense?

Is there am ability to acquire said list/record if I contact customer support directly?

Forum search and google proved unclear one way or the other.

Go to your https://store.steampowered.com/account/ and games with "retail" beside them are ones activated with a cd key.

Good start, thanks very much.
Won't answer all of them, but knocked out quite a few questions for me.

Install the game (can abort the download), right click in library, view cd key.

Also not a complete answer, because it's not always an option.

Theres no way to see the particular key(s) used.

theres several ways to check if keys are used or not these days, you can check 10,000 keys instantly and it will seperate duped keys from the good keys.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

The only way to "check" a key is by trying to use it -- which will either tell you it's an invalid key, an already used one, or -- if neither of these -- it will redeem the key.

But sure, send your keys to a "key checker". They will gladly take them.

a developer can check keys for their own products.
that guy is a dev, a dev of what Valve mostly defines as fake games.

dunno why he brings developer tools as arguments in a users forum though
