It wasn't. CDkey generators didn't generate WON valid cdkeys, unless you were very very lucky to obtain a registered cdkey. They were only a very simple program that generates keys verifing a well known algorithm, but only valid for LAN use (where there are no WON auth servers).
The nearest thing I saw was a cdkey generator that was able to check every key generated against WON to test if it was really valid, but this was a very slow process (like 0.5 keys/sec or so). -- PiTaGoRaS K.
