Quick question to anyone that can provide an answer.

I plan to reinstall my Windows 7 OS -clean slate. I purchased the Guardian of NWN pack and have access and have played the game when beta was in session.

Will I be able to download the client if I dont have the beta keys codes by logging in with my user name and password after I reinstall Windows 7 and continue to play or will I need the beta key again after I reinstall my OS?

    Your keys are not required when you install as they are stored with your online account.
    So when you have reinstall Windows you just login to the Neverwinter website and download/install the game and then login with your username & password and the game will update.
    Note you will not be able to play as it isnt live yet and to make sure its ready to go until next update turn off in the launcher options the patch on demand setting.

    To avoid the download, you can just backup the 3ish GB folder for Cryptic

    I do believe you have to update a registry key after the clean install to point to the path (otherwise it will attempt another 3.3GB patch .. lol) even though it is fully patched

    HKEY Current User / Software / Cryptic / Neverwinter / Then the install location data value
