I have 2 access keys for both GWs games. I don't know which computer I have installed to which. is there a way to find out which GWs installation hold which cdkey?

Shouldnt matter, the key actually just activates the account. example: if you need to reinstall the game for any reason, as long as your account was already activated then you can use any key (borrow your friends it doesnt matter) to install the game. Keys only matter when starting a new account.

ahhh ok. I thought that the accts were tied to the keys. But as long as that is not the case I am good to go then!

Thx!

The accounts are tied to the keys, but the game itself is not tied to any one computer. Once you've entered a key, so long as you have the client you can play it on any computer that can handle it.

so, now this causes confusion. I am selling my GWs prophecies and factions. I don't know which cd-key goes with what. I put the accounts with the games because I will not be using them anymore anyway.

So, my question then is if I sell both gws with an account, must I have that same access key with the same account?

First off your not allowed to sell any Guild Wars account, its against the policy of A.net. If you are found to be selling it on eBay or if your not careful, both accounts will be banned.

The reselling of any Guild Wars account is bannable, just a word of warning.

The way Guild Wars works is a person created an account, which CD-keys are linked to, depending on what keys that account has, determines what the account can access.

So if you wish to break to the rules and risk selling a Guild Wars account, which has CD-keys linked to it, all the need to do is change the e-mail address linked to that account once its sold, so the person you sell it to can access it after.

Other Facts:

CD-Keys can not be unlinked to an account User ID.
All Guild Wars clients are the same, even if the have factions or not. Thus the CD-Key is unimportant once its added to a account.
Again the reselling of any CD-keys which are ALREADY linked to an account is illegal and bannable.

Hope that explains it, I would not recommend reselling CD-keys already in use.

I know plenty of people who buy accounts, only to be scammed or have their accounts banned days later.

Remember you person who had the account before could have use it for all manner of things... like botting!
