Hello there, Blizzard wizards!
I recently re-discovered my original CDs for both StarCraft and BroodWars. Griped by nostalgia, I went ahead and installed StarCraft directly from the CD (no problems there) and when I wanted to install Brood Wars, the installer could not locate the original StarCraft and wouldn't let me advance.
Believing this to be an issue due to my CDs' age, I logged unto my Battle.net account and added the Starcraft CdKey to my account; no problems there, although it registered the game as 'StarCraft Anthology.' Downloaded the game client, and as I began installing it required a CD Key 26 characters long...which is an issue because my original Cd case has a key that is only 13 characters long!
I've read through the forums, but could not find a topic that would help me in this matter; thus, I turn to thee!
What could I do?

Thanks to those who read my post.
I guess I was too tired and&or excited to notice the new alphanumeric key that was added on my Battle.net account's product description once I registered my old CD case key.
Installation successful and no issues have arisen as I type this.
Thanks, again!

Had the same issue. Thanks for posting the solution.
Had the same issue as well. Thanks for sharing the solution =)
Same issue, quickly found your post :)
Thanks, i had same problem but it was i lost my old one. Did not see a new one on the account.
Just to add to this topic, if you don't see a Serial key on the client download page in your account, try changing the regions (i.e., from us.battle.net to eu.battle.net).
For some reason Blizzard have problems displaying the serials for different regions, even though the game itself is not locked.

Ty so much for writing the resolution. I had the same issue :D

Frendog,
You would need to go to your Battle.net Account management page and use the Add a Game Key button to add your StarCraft key to the account. that will unlock both the StarCraft and Broodwar installers for you to download. It will be listed as the StarCraft Anthology. Under the Summary tab, you'd click on that to see the download link as well as a new 26 digit equivalent key to use for installing.

fox394thiw,
The Battle.net account from which you're currently posting doesn't have any classic game licenses attached. It just has StarCraft II Wings of Liberty. Perhaps you registered StarCraft to a different Battle.net account?

I'm having the same issue with the 26 digits key, only the suggested workaround of switching to another region isn't working. There is still no key visible in the client download page.
What to do...?
