Hello,

Well, if you bought a retail game (means you have CD/DVD with the game) then you can only play LAN because the original Relic servers don't work anymore. To play online you need to install Steam - find there Company of Heroes and you can enter the CD-key that you got with your game and you can download the steam version for free (it is same as Relic) and then you can play online. In case that you don't have CD key (you lost it or downloaded pirate copy from internet) then your chances to play online are minimal. But CoH (with Opposing Fronts and Tales of Valor expansions) are often on sales where you can buy them all in one pack for about 5 Euro .

And additional question:
Is it possible to play CoH-multiplayer via Steam (and Blitzkrieg-mod of course), if you has:
1) only "Opposing Fronts"-key ?
2) only vCoH-key (without OP/ToV) ?

There is a site in a web that transforms old vCOH key or its standalone DLC into a new steam version key.
just enter the keys in a steam through Activate steam product button
