You can play with the same serial number on both mine and xwis.  I believe xwis ensures it's a valid serial number but it doesn't check for duplicates as I've logged into xwis on a number of occasions with 2 different nicks on different pcs (same serial).

Now my server doesn't validate the serial number as I have no idea what algorithm they use that determines valid serials.  Since the game won't install without a valid serial and there's no way to change it, it's really a moot point for my server to validate it anyways.

Yes you can.

okay thx alot guys...then i m going to share my cd key to my friend... thx again :)

There are serials which will install the game but will be playable online. That is probably because they satisfy the setup's algorithm but only the serials that have been sold are unlocked for online play. I think this happens for most, if not all, games with a serial.

I think you are correct.

Okay so i tried!It worked in 2 players (same time) on line :)

All Westwood RTS games that came with multiple CDs (prior to Generals) could be run from all of those CDs online at once, so you could play online against your family or friends without having to all buy the game.  Not very EA-ish, so it was stopped with Generals.  Try it with RA or Tiberian Sun sometimes, it works there too.
