Hi,

1) what is a preffered way to unique identify licensed and pirated steam accounts?
2) what is the difference between all of the options below? Some of them deprecated or out of date? Can some of them return null in special circumstances?

	int iSteamId = GetSteamAccountID(client);
	PrintToChat(client, "GetSteamAccountID = %i", iSteamId);
	
	char sId[50];
	GetClientAuthId(client, AuthId_Engine, sId, sizeof(sId));
	PrintToChat(client, "AuthId_Engine = %s", sId);
	
	GetClientAuthId(client, AuthId_Steam2, sId, sizeof(sId));
	PrintToChat(client, "AuthId_Steam2 = %s", sId);
	
	GetClientAuthId(client, AuthId_Steam3, sId, sizeof(sId));
	PrintToChat(client, "AuthId_Steam3 = %s", sId);
	
	GetClientAuthId(client, AuthId_SteamID64, sId, sizeof(sId));
	PrintToChat(client, "AuthId_SteamID64 = %s", sId);

GetSteamAccountID = 4502XXXX AuthId_Engine = STEAM_1:1:2251XXXX AuthId_Steam2 = STEAM_1:1:2251XXXX AuthId_Steam3 = [U:1:4502XXXX] AuthId_SteamID64 = 765611980XXXXXXXX

I found this article about SteamId formats. But not too many words about purpose.

Thanks.
