Unfortunately I don't think so. also, just reinstalling won't work unless you have a new key to activate when you do reinstall.

There was one in the Arma 1 section of forums but not sure if it works for Arma 2.
Always PM me if you need anything, I am happy to help.

Backup your Arma 2 or OA folder, uninstall, reinstall with new key and then re-copy over the backup onto the Arma 2 directory.

This will work if it is a registery change, which I'm sure it is.

Download a version, install with your CD-Key and overwrite with your normal .exe.

You may have problems with needing a CD in your disk drive. There are also ways around this, also on this site. Rather old however.

Yeah there is, but the key is put through an algorithm to get it into its hash that is stored in your registry. The installer has the algorithm in it.

You may have problems with needing a CD in your disk drive. There are also ways around this, also on this site. Rather old however.
the easiest way around this is google arma2oa no-cd crack, jihad. Find one and download it. usually it is just a replacement .exe file that you use instead and it will run without a disc. I honestly don't know if you even need to have the game disc in with arma in the first place, as i have steam.

Also, if there is an issue with not being able to install without it being a "disc", you can mount it do a virtual drive with a program called poweriso, or something equivalent. I would google how to do this, as it isn't terribly difficult and there is tons of stuff on google about how to use those kinds of programs.

Grab the ArmA key changer from the d/l section...open it and change the line needed so it works on ArmA2/OA.
Keep a .txt file with your keys and change on the fly.

To change BE GUID can be done a few ways...from reinstall with a new key,changeing hardware ID #'s or the other non-public methods.
