(key redacted as I realized they are still selling SC4 Deluxe on Steam. It was your standard 5 groups of 4 alphanumeric key)
When I was a kid I didn't understand why Sim City 4 Deluxe played after install but didn't play when I stuck disk 2 back in and clicked the game. It was my favorite game for a number of years and it wasn't until at least 2 or 3 years in I realized it wanted me to stick disk 1 in for the copyright protection and that disk 2 just worked during install for convenience reasons. I had been uninstalling the game every night before I went to bed (preserving saves!) and reinstalling it every day after school. One day I couldn't find the case with the key (probably got thrown away) and I thought I was going to have to buy it again but when I went to the computer I was able to get it first guess.
Been 15 years now. I suppose I'm never going to forget that key.
