Hi everyone.

Can anyone with knowledge about this tell me if it would be required or best practice to purchase a second copy of CoD for your dedicated host?

I have a colocated host and want to install CoD. I'm just not sure what to do about the Steam activation process or even if it is required for a hosted server.

Any help on this would be appreciated and thanks for your time.

Peace

+1 on this.

To my knowledge one will only be able to be logged in to Steam from one computer at a time... So even if you have a "total of 3 activated computers" it would seem that you actually would need 2 separate Steam-accounts to be able to host a server and play on it at the same time.

Best option imo would be that a 1c/Ubisoft distributes the server-executables via their internet-page with no need to own the game/DRM to be able to host a DEDICATED server unrelated to Steam etc.
