No need for a physical CD (well, at least not in the linux version, but I think this is the case for all platforms.)

You don't need physical CD other than for the installation. However Dom3 license limits you to a single concurrent copy on a computer storage medium (aside of backup). That sounds curious because I don't see any straightforward way to play it without having one copy on the hard drive and another copy in RAM

Really? I should read that since Ive always put it on my windows desktop machine and my linux server, with full knowledge of the devs.

Im not sure how thats worded but the game is purposely setup to allow seperation of client and host. The host copy doesnt check its own serial against the players to specifically allow that.

Do you think developers read license agreement?
