CD key
Despite being sold as "DRM-free", online activation is used whenever the game is able to contact the metaserver, and a simple algorithm check is performed even if the metaserver is unreachable. Using a bad CD-key blocks the game, and using a demo key restricts certain features, even in singleplayer games.
