Half Life CD Key and Counter Strike WON ID (dont worry, this isnt warez)

Also, how is the WON ID assigned to the client? Or does a WON ID come with every counter strike downloaded?
Thnaks, any help apreciated

My assumption has always been its assigned via your CD Key and the date in which you first try to access the VALVe Master Server... Basically i got a 6 figure ID. When I used to play TFC solidly about 18 months ago, there used to be people with 3 figure IDs.. Guess they were amongst the first to purchase the game and take it online (Half-Life that is, not CS retail)

Like Wiz said, Counter-Strike Mod (the downloadable one) does not come with its own CD Key. You will have the same WonID as your other Half-Life based games/mods. Counter-Strike Retail does come with its own key though.
