[cod] seperate key needen for install ??

[Jerry Zimmerman van Woesik]

Thnx David,

The thing I'm still puzzled about is the fact that you have to install 
the game on the server first....which requires a key....as far as I know.
Or is it the same as the installation of a Linux cod2 server, just copy 
the files ?
I Can't realy find a conclusive awnser on this, and I have never 
installed a dedicate windows cod2 server in my life.. ( :-P )

cheers
