How can I find the CD Key used in a Diablo 2 installation?

Question

I have Diablo 2 installed on my old gaming PC, and was looking to install it on my new gaming rig. The problem I have is that while I have the install discs and things, I cannot for the life of me find the CD Key.

Is there a way to figure out what the key on the old PC is so I can copy it and use it on the new PC?

I assume it is stored in a file or registry setting somewhere on the old box...

Answer

If it's already installed and registered on the other computer, most Blizzard games (Diablo 2 included) seem to respond well to just being flat-out copied from one computer to another. Assuming the CD key is stored in a file (can't find anything in the registry on a quick look-through), it would solve that problem and save you some time installing (and even patching).
