The end of this answer says that if you can prove you own the game, they'll give you a new Code. How do you prove you own the game? I bought my game in maybe 2010 and the live chat representative I talked to is telling me that, without the Code being registered, they can't give me the Code or any replacement Code. I'm just really frustrated and confused.
@uenkkrytvx Do you still have the code, and can you register it now? The code is printed on the back of the insert that comes inside the case. Or, if you have access to a computer where the game was installed at some point, you may still be able to find the code there.

I can confirm that contacting costumer support on this is a waste of time (45min in my case). They are so restricted when it comes to handing out a new code. I've spent 5min on booting up my decade old laptop and extracting the key, despite having zero computer knowledge. Doing so will be your best bet.
