It's been quite a while since oldunreal had an overhaul, but we are moving to another server which require some updates and changes. The biggest change is the migration of our old reliable YaBB forum to phpBB. This system expects you to login with your username and old password known from YaBB.
If you experience any problems there is also the usual "password forgotten" function. Don't forget to clear your browser cache!

License/terms for UT and servers
I sound a bit crazy, what with wanting an Azure server running custom mods with UT as an experiment (esp. being the laziest man here.)
When you download Unreal Tournament from Steam, terms and conditions apply to how you use it. I wondered how owners of servers can upload UT?
How do owners of UT make two copies (one client/one server)?

Re: License/terms for UT and servers
I read the Unreal (Not UT) license agreement. The Unreal EULA licences the software to be installed on one computer. So if you run a server from the computer you play the game on, you are covered by that license.
If you install the game on a second computer, for example a dedicated server, you technically need another license.
Most will probably not bother, but if you want to live by the rules of the EULA, you need to buy a copy of Unreal for every computer you install it on.

Re: License/terms for UT and servers
Thanks Hyper.
With Steam - can I pay for two copies? Or would I need to explicitly email them asking for two copies?
Usually you pay for one copy and "Play" or "Uninstall" but never "Buy again".
Being somewhat lazy, I can't run a server yet. I've read a fair few terms and conditions but every time I did I said to myself "I need a lawyer!"

Re: License/terms for UT and servers
I thought UT wasn't possible to be bought on Steam anymore, period.

Re: License/terms for UT and servers
Yeah, Epic stopped selling the Unreal series on Steam. You can only buy existing keys through resellers until their stock dried up. And they can ask any price. And then I mean, ANY price.
Cheapest ways to get licenses for Unreal games is the secondhand market.
