License Key For Server

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

I am about to set up dedicated server which will host DayZ (private hive).

I already have a Arma 2 CO license key which I purchased on steam (and use to play as a client). Can this same key be used for the server, or does the server require a key in it's own right? (i.e. there will be a GUID clash when the server and client with the same key are run concurrently?).

Also I plan to upload my own local copy of the files as I have my own tailored instance of a server running on my desktop. I confident about doing this myself when it comes to ports, needed, directory structure and so forth, but again, I am not sure about the license key? Would I need to make a registry entry that the armaOA server exectuionable will look up?

Thanks!

Luke

All you do is use your steam account to download the ARMA 2 CO files, you don't need to mess around with keys or anything
