Is Creating a Counter-Strike 1.6 Server Free and Legal?
Jun 07, 2012 12:22 PM
Hey There,
I know that the Counter-Strike 1.6 Game is not free and downloading the game from the internet without paying is illegal. But I want to ask that is the Counter-Strike 1.6 Server free? Can anyone create a server without paying?
I have found this tutorial for creating the server:
http://www.cstrike-planet.com/tutorial/1-Creating-a-Counter-Strike-Server
It mentions "HldsUpdateTool". Is this program legal to use?

Hi rahber,

The CS 1.6 server provided through steam is definitely legal and free to use. Your costs would involve hosting it.

See: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?p_faqid=638
I am retired from GameTracker after 11 years and will not be responsive for support requests.

I was worried that they server that I am hosting at my home is legal or not. Thanks!
