| Question | Answer | |----------|--------| | Can I download a “Diablo II LoD ISO” from a torrent site? | No. Those files are copyrighted and distributing them without permission is illegal. | | Do I still need an ISO if I buy the digital version? | No. The Battle.net installer puts the game directly on your drive; you can launch it from the Battle.net client. | | What if my old DVD is scratched and unreadable? | Try cleaning the disc gently with a soft lint‑free cloth. If it’s still unreadable, your legal options are to purchase the digital version or, if you own a legitimate license, contact Blizzard support for assistance. | | Is it okay to keep the ISO on a USB stick for use on multiple PCs? | Yes, provided each PC logs into the same Battle.net account (or you have a licensed physical copy) and you are the rightful owner. | | Do I need a “keygen” or “crack” to run the ISO? | No. A legal copy of the game includes a product key (or uses Battle.net authentication). Using cracks is illegal and unsafe. |
