Online activation is only performed when the metaserver is reachable.
The game can be played in a demo mode without a key (only three game modes and certain maps are available, game options and AI difficulty cannot be set; whether demo players can host games is defined by the metaserver).
All versions use an activation key for multiplayer. The hash of the key is sent to the server, which validates it against the metaserver, removing the player if it is bad or is already used by another person in the same game.
In Steam version, a CD key is received from Steam servers, and is inserted automatically.
