-------------------------------------

Description:

Change your Half-Life and Counter-Strike cd-key easily. HL key changer is a small program which allows you to easily manage multiple Half-Life cdkeys without having to access the system registry. This is convenient when you have been banned from a certain server or want your statistics under a different player name. Also supports Counter-Strike retail. This new version allows you to comment each key, so you don't lose track of which is which.
