no chance... i dont know it

It may be hiding in your registry,if u know what to do-search for anything freelancer related
-
most things in registry are either encrypted or jumbled up!
-
Encrypted? What kind of database you use? Anyway, you can use regshot.exe to track the registry entry regarding the ID.
i've never done that thought...

Try This:
Important if you don't want to lose all characters on all Freelancer servers you were playing after reinstalling Windows or (sometimes) reinstalling Freelancer. Without a saved key they are impossible to recover. Here's a brief manual on how to save.I. Simple way: Open myflaccountid.hta in Freelancer\EXE folder. There you'll see your account ID, save it to a separate text file or print.
When the game is launched 1st time after reinstall, the window will open up with a prompt to save newly generated key or input the old one. Simply input the old key you've saved into that window and you are done. As normal copy-paste won't work, you'll have to copy code manually, therefore it might be a good idea to print the it.
II. More complicated (regedit involved): First of all, launch "regedit" from command line.
Find HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\1.0
There will be InstallKey string where Freelancer key is stored, you may save it or change it directly in Regedit. -
ok just an update Lanky has sorted the problem and got the number. cos he knew he was only missing 1 he went through his keyboard 1 at a time till he got it right.
hehe took him an hour bet he dont do that again

you know what i dont understand????
everytime i uninstal freelancer and instal it again and then i go to internet, it ALWAYS ask me for THE SAME ID. i can uninstal it 100 times and every time i will have the SAME ID.
so, what the .... are you doing that you have that problem?? i really dont get it what are you doing with your computer and games.
-
yer, it gets the key from registry
-
Because of the last mod updates, and some probs with my comp, I have reinstalled FL very often last time.... over 10 times I get the same ID, then it changes [13]
