Typically, it's one CD, one system. If you have one CD, you can only run it on one system.

That wont always do it . one of my friends brought his computer over to my house like a year ago (he didnt have any games then) and i installed some on his computer so we could play and i made him uninstall them before he left. Later he went out and bought halflife and he put it on his computer but when he played online i couldnt play cuz of my cd key was in use. it turned out some of the registry entries were left over and one of them being the cd key.

That's true, Big Red. If you do a search through your registry for Half-Life and/or Sierra, you should be able to find those entries, and wipe them out after you uninstall, and before you reinstall. My roommates were dealing with the same thing, and that's how we fixed it.

so, is it hl cd key needs to be different or cs?? Because I got same hl on comp's and dofferent cs's.

Both the retail CS and HL use the same CD keys for playing online. You can play a LAN game with the same CD keys, but not online. And, yes, a CS retail key will work on a HL version of CS.

With the cheap price of HL these days, why not just get another copy?

Also, I have found that if you do an uninstall via the control panel in windows, it works well for removing the CD key from the system.

Hope this helps.

Thats what i did but it was hard to try and convince him to let me hack apart his registry
