Well, the cd keys and such should already be assigned to your steam account login information, asuuming you already entered this info when you first signed up with steam.

strangely for me, the damn thing never asks for the cd key anymore when I install the software. Had probs with getting the source game loaded onto my pc though. Keeps telling me that I have to download it from steam... 58hrs to download, and it won't download coz the server is always too busy.

Curent system:
Intel Quad Core 9450 | 4GB RAM | WD Raptor 36GB | nVidia 8800GT 512mb

well, i found out my old account information and now I have all the games I should. I never knew u couldn't make a new account with the cdkey. I think that's kinda stupid, even though it makes sense lol.
