Server advice.

Archived from groups: alt.games.half-life.counterstrike (More info?)

I hesitate to post these questions as I have witnessed the carnage
whenever anyone tries to get HL for free.

I own two copies of HL. One for me and one for my son. I have set up
my spare computer in order to have a dedicated DoD server. I guess it
has to be on the Steam network. Do I have to buy another copy of HL in
order to get the server up and running, or can I just download the
server software for free? The server would not have anyone playing
through it, it would only host.

I am not trying to get around an laws, I honestly don't know and don't
want to go out and spent 24 bucks on another copy if it is not required.

Thank you.

By "create another steam account", do you mean that I have to have
another cd key? I own two cd keys/steam accounts. I would like to run
a dedicated server on my spare computer and be able to have both
accounts playing on it. So should I go to the store and buy another
copy of HL?

Thank you.

If you want to have one server and one PC playing on it, you need 2 keys. If
you want one server and two PC's playing on it, you need 3 keys.

No, you don't need a key to create Steam account.

Where do I get it? I have downloaded the updater and followed the
instructions here:
