Key Change Script

This script requires admin access to function properly

Warcraft III stores the game's CD key encrypted in the war3.mpq and war3x.mpq files in the game's installation directory. There is currently no known way to change this through command-line-only. Instead, we have to rely on key changers. Provided below are AutoHotkey scripts to automate this process. For ease of distribution, it is recommended that you compile the AutoHotkey script to an .exe executable. This will allow you to run the script without having AutoHotkey installed on the client machine.
