Lost my Retail key

Hey all i just reactivated my monthly sub and i'm starting to play again after a long break. But i ran into a snag and i need to know if this is going to hurt me in the long run:

I reciently moved into a house from a place i was staying at before and i lost my Collector's Edition retail box in the move somehow, which means that i no longer have my retail key available if i ever need it again.

Will this cause problems in the future? The only reason i'm asking is because i'm going to be upgrading my PC from 32 bit Vista to 64 bit Windows 7 in a few months which means i'm going to have to do a cold reinstall of all my including STO.

Will i ever need that retail key again? The only time i used it is when i first created this account of mine. I just did a cold reinstall yesterday and i didn't need the key then.

Any help on this would be great and if there is a way to find out what my retail key was so that i can write it down it would be great to know how to find it again.

Thanks,

dr.death

    you will never have to enter your retail key again. it is stored on the account server. the only time you would need the key would be as possible source of proof or ownership of the account in the case of losing your password and need cryptic to reset it for you.
