I dont think its not legal either, just involves manually writing the cd key into registry, also, fake or stolen cd keys will not work,

A slightly more time consuming, but far safer method is to just install them in order, then uninstall after each install.

It won't require them all to be installed, only;
a) For them to have been installed at some point.
b) To have the relevant CD-Key(s).

Since each one requires its own CD-Key during installation, that's taken care of during the install.
Afterward, uninstall and the Registry information will still show it had been installed, and the relevant CD-Key as well.
Just so long as the registry shows that WA/DC had been installed at some point, DC/SS will ask for their CD-Keys when you first boot up the game.

Finally, install DC/SS then input the CD-Keys it asks for when it asks for them.

Yes it's time consuming, but it's better than messing with the Registry when you're inexperienced.

If you have dawn of war dc or ss and want to play the races from the earlier games online but dont have dow or dowwa then you can get an "all breeds enabler" crack for dc and ss although i dont know if its legal or not. so if you want to look for it its your choice.

There's no crack for enabling the races.
There's an application which allows you to play with all the races online without having the other games installed.

Normally you have to have vanilla dow, wa and DC installed, to get the cd key prompt in soulstorm, into which you put in your cd-keys to unlock the other races for online and lan play.

This application simmulates the exes and registry entries for the other games and you can put in your LEGAL cd-keys to unlock the races. The game still verfies the lagality of said cd-keys when you connect to the online server.

Still need the legal cd-key
So no, there's not a way to play online without actually buying WA in one form or other. I.e. as an anthology or by itself.

Not true.
You just have to have had them installed on the system, for them to have registry entries that DC/SS will pick up on when it runs.
They don't still have to be installed when you install DC or SS.

At that point, you just need the legal cd-keys that you have for DoW and WA (and DC if it's SS you're using).

It's almost the same thing for CoH:OF.
So long as your system's registry contains information about CoH having been installed, then OF will prompt for a CoH CD-Key each time it runs.
The difference with CoH:OF, is that you can bring up the prompt without having had CoH installed previously, since OF installs a copy of CoH at the same time and allows you to play CoH from its installation.

Not sure how SS does it, but I'm certain that DC also required a number of files. At least the exe to be present on the place the registries pointed to.

There is a "Race Unlocker" application, which allows for you to enter each of your legal CD keys in order, so all I had to do was install Dark Crusade.

No idea where I originally got the App, but I'd attach it here, were I sure of it's allowance.

Again, it requires having a legal CD-Key for each game.
Which means having bought them either individually or as some sort of collection.

Which is apparently not what the OP was after...

Here's a link that I used and when I followed all the instructions it worked pretty well:

It has a system to make the registry updates so all you need is Soulstorm actually installed. Of course, it requires unique, valid keys for everything otherwise it would not be legal. I hope that can help!
