thats ?20 down the drain then

ok, thxs. Thats only for Episode 1 though. All i got was the game for half life 2. Do you think i should just trade them in?

My situation: I have brought half life 2, and half life 2: ep1 from ebay. (both are pre-owned). I have heard (i haven't got them yet, so i haven't tried, and someone only told me after i had won and payed) that when the game is installed onto one computer, it cannot be installed onto another (something to do with registration number). Thats about all i know. I want to know if i can play these games on my computer (multiplayer as well) and if not, what i can do about it.
Also, the guy who sold me half life 2: ep1 gave me a password and account name, i dont know if this changes anything.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

that doesn't really help my situation

Hi. Im tottaly new to half life (and playing games on the computer in gerneral). I brought half life 2, and half life 2 ep 1 for the pc, both from ebay (second hand) i heard that half life has some kind of special account which only lets you download and play onto one computerm (im not really sure) but what i need to know is can i still install half life on my computer?
