Are CD keys for required with contributions?

I recently bought some old software from ebay which I categorize as abandonware and would like to upload them, but CD keys are required to install them. Can software be uploaded without the keys? I would not like to give the keys to the public.

I think only CD keys for Betas are accepted. Not for regular abandonware stuff, since that would kinda be taken as piracy, it's mostly the software that comes with it that's important, not so much the keys.

If the key is part of the artwork on a cover or disc then please include it, and I will edit it out before the release goes public. But otherwise no, you don't need to provide any license with the upload as the distribution of abandonware licenses are not permitted on BA for any reason, even if you own the licenses yourself.
