[cod] seperate key needen for install ??

[James Landi]

You don't have to install if first, you can just take everything in the
Setup/Data folder, on the disk and copy it to your server.   

Then all you need to do is launch the game (server) from the command line
with the server switch and you will wont be asked or need a key.

Then once your ISP has the correct CoDx files you can then copy them from
server to server if needed.  You don't even need the disk in the CD/DVD tray
to run a server.

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
