Valve responed to a question as to what happens with your old cd keys eg: hl1, cs:cz, etc...
You will lose your old keys if you use the same account to purchase hl2! (read more for more info and the only solution) You paid for hl1, just recently cs:cz, now you wont be able to use those cd keys!
Say you wanted to give your old keys to a brother or something now that you have another hl1 key (included with the hl2 package), now you wont be able to keep the old keys UNLESS you make a whole new account for hl2!
Hello,
You will not be able to transfer your old key. In order to achieve what you are describing, open a new Steam account, and purchase the Steam package with your new account.

I payed for a liscence to hl1, a cd key. When I buy hl2 silver package, i would like to keep my old hl1 liscence and not lose it when I gain access to the "back catalog" that i will get in the hl2 silver package... How will i be able to transfer my old liscence (cd key) to say another account? I dont want to lose the liscence for which i paid 50 dollars.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, I can understand how busy you must be, and thanks for all of your work!
