RE: Legal question (Win2k + HLDS inside)

[Eric Hall]

Win2k's 10-connection license has nothing to do with HLDS or anything else.  The point of the license is to discourage use of the less expensive Win2k Pro as a production file/web server instead of Win2k Server.  HLDS requires no license (what, you think Valve wants to put up several thousand servers all over the world? :), and there is no violation of your Win2k license.   Eric (the Deacon remix) http://www.firekite.com   -----Original Message----- From: Bloodhound[QVS] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, September 23, 2001 11:54 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Legal question (Win2k + HLDS inside) Hi all! I have a legal question about Win2k: When I run a 20 players CS server on a Win2k box, must I have a licence for 20 simultaneous connections or not? My problem is that legally, a Win2k Pro can only have 10 simultaneous connections, but I dont'know if the HLDS connections are concerned about that...   Anyone knows?
