Making a Windows server compatible with v1.6, v1.61, v1.612

At the same time, making it no-cdkey. Is this possible?

BF1942 Windows server v1.612 doesn't check for CD-keys and it's now patched to accept all client versions. It has the problem, that you are certainly aware, keyhashes are not displayed.

Thanks! I tried it out and I can run the server on pure with v1.61 and join fine, however when I try joining on v1.6 it tells me data differs from server, but it works if I turn off pure mode.

BF1942 clients v1.6 have different init.con and contentcrc32.con files from v1.61 and v1.612, that's why they fail the content check.
