if I have well understood, I need as many CD's as computers I want to use in my Multiplayer (TCP o PBEM) games, not as many players ... that's true ?

Liga

Yup

Yup

Is that "one CD per computer", or "one CD per DomsII client"?

If I launch several Doms clients on the same machine (they might all display on the same screen, or, more interestingly, on different screens over the network), do I need one CD per client? I suspect I do, but I'd like to check.

Also - the key seems to be in the "key" file in the user's "dominions2" directory [this is with a Linux install]. Can the same user have two different keys, or, if I had two different keys, would I need to setup additional Users to use the second key?

Yeah. Plain text and world-wide readable. I wasnt thrilled with that arrangment.
