View Full Version : Bare minimum and questionable legality

First off, is it legal to install my copy of DoW onto my main computer as well as my laptop? My reason for asking is, while I enjoy playing on my main computer I prefer the mobility of my laptop when it comes to designing maps (aka I can take my work with me to the local coffee shop) and doing other mod work. Not to mention my main computer chair is not very comfortable. I'd rather be riding in style in my recliner.

My main question is: will installing just Dark Crusade keep me from accessing some map decals? I know that Dark Crusade has some map decals that the original DoW and WA don't have. Does DC contain all decals or just DC specific decals? Also does DC contain all the race's info like ebps and sbps?

My poor lappy has a pitifully small HD, hence the wanting to slim down.

The problem arises only when you want to play any form of multiplayer with 1 cdkey.... that shouldnt work and isnt legal. You can happily map away with the one copy though.

DC by itself has everything in it, you only need vanilla and WA if you want to play online with the other races (which you wont be doing on your laptop), so thats fine too.

Ok, thanks for clarifying!

There's actually nothing preventing you from logging on with the same CD key from 2 different computers as long as it's not at the same time.
