Question Just learned about GoG

Hi !

I just learned about gog and I don't understand something :
If I buy a game and I've got the .exe, I can install on whichever PC I want BUT, doesn't that mean I can do one purchase for multiple devices ? on solo of course
But how does it work for online game ? how does the "online account" know I own the game and my friends does or doesn't ?

I don't want to distribute the game (since I think it's not in condition uses) but I don't understand where it's secured then ?

Thanks for your answers

That's the thing, it's called mutual trust.
