no cd crack didn't work

i downloaded need for speed underground 2 and i got the no cd crack, and i installed the game and everything, and i copied the no cd crack and i dropped the crack into the game folder, and it’s suppose to say do you want to replace? or something like that, but when i dropped it in all it did was create a new shortcut in the game folder did i do something wrong? please someone explain :blink:

Instructions for using the crack are usually contained in an .nfo file accompanying the download. Read and follow those instructions.
