So here's my situation:
I have the disk. I do not have the key that game with it. I found some keys online and tried two. When I got to the second (yes, second) time where you put in the key. I got an error message. I tried lots of codes, including the one I used originally but none of them worked. Why is this?
So under "Sporebin", I click "SporeApp.exe", in which it says "Enter your Registration Code here" "Please enter the entire Registration Code found either in your confirmation email, your game manual/product packaging, or game card.". I type in a code and it says "Re-enter a verify your Registration Code" "Please carefully re-enter the entire code found either in your confirmation email, your game manual/product packaging, or game card.". I try the same code, it happens again. I try a different code, same thing.

I believe that game uses some kind of DRM. Or at least it used to. In any case, since you seem to own a legal copy, you should contact customer support. Who knows, maybe if you send them proof.. like pictures of the discs or something, they'll give you a new key? How'd you lose your key, anyway?

My brother bought the game, and lost the key. He uninstalled it too. :(

I remember being able to get this game for free, i don'k know the exact process but one of my friend copy/pasted the game on my pc, it was saying some kind of error that I can't remember, but then. after instaling the demo of the game. The full version was working. And I don't remember using any CD-Key or anything.

That's strange. I tried to download the creature creator but it didn't let me. I might re-install Spore tomorrow or tonight.
