  Hi all,
  
  here is the story and i can't decide this is legal or illegal,
  
  In my Workgroup i have 40 client(xp sp3 pro) and one server(win server2008), and i have 100 games(like call of duty 6, Medal of honor, all these have licanse, i setup the games to my server, and i share them, i apply the registry keys to my clients,
  so all my clients can play the games.
  the licanses for just one pc, and i use it for server.. i don't setup to the clients..
  
  what do u think about that, legal or illegal?

  hello kaanstain,
  cd keys are generally of two main types, user key or system key.
  user keys allows 1 user per program/game to be run legally.
  system keys allow 1 computer system per program/game to be used legally.
  
  most antiviruses for example come with a single user key. it means that 1 AV program can be run for 1 user only.
  
  MS Windows for example comes with a system key that requires one to install Windows OS on one computer only. But Windows itself allows to create upto 5 different USERS withing the same OS. Therefore, when connected through a thin client system, total of 5 pcs can be used on 1 Windows installation and hence saves money.
  
  but whether the keys are per user or per system depends on specific applications/games. so any predictions in ur case would be inaccurate.
  Call up their support agents or just shoot them a mail and get it clarified.
