Registering A Game With GFWL

So I am trying to legally play Viva Pinata on PC which is causing me some trouble as it is no longer sold on Gaming For Windows Live. I could buy a hardcopy but since I no longer have a disc drive I could not install it.

I have read that if you owned a copy of Viva Pinata on GFWL before they took it off the store you can still download it and play it.

So my question is, if I buy a hardcopy, can I register the serial number to GFWL, then download it and play it?

Cheers, Sam
