Hi,

I have two EU accounts and so I wanted to change one to NA region, which you are allowed to do. However, when I asked Blizzard they said I needed my authentication which was on my box, which it appears I have lost.

They said they cannot help me without that code, so I was wondering is there any way to retrieve it? Perhaps through the Sc2 files i have on my computer.

Many thanks.

(No I cannot change the other one as it was my friends account who gave it to me and he doesnt have his box either)

Don't think there is another way to obtain the code other than reading it from the box. Since the code is coupled to your account and not the game files, there is no way to retrieve it from your SC2 installation.

Can't you check your account code through battle.net? if that's the code you need, it will be on battle.net somewhere.

Edit.. actually I'm wrong ignore this. Just checked my SC2 account and it doesn't which is odd, because it lets you see the SCBW code.

I heard of cases where people verify account ownership with copies/scans of their ID cards.
Ask them if that is a possibility.

The normal SCBW box code doesnt work for the version (the installer) you download from Bnet - only with the CD version.
So if you register an old SCBW box to Bnet it will give you a new code which works with the new installer. Maybe you can only see this new code?

Wait you can switch the regions of your accounts between NA and EU?

OP: I really dont think there is a way to get your code but back in the WoW days I had friends who needed to verify their ownership without their code and they used scans of IDs.
Definitely gonna switch to G, the only race I havent played yet. - TLO
