last time i played the game wanted a CD for any human player.
Don't know why becausein earlier versions just the host needed a CD...

I'm pretty sure that you've always needed a CD for every person. I've played vanilla A2 online with someone else as the host, without the CD in, and I definitely got the, "You need the CD" thing. I don't remember it ever being "just the host" thing.

When playing over LAN (Hamachi) you only need 1 CD, but when over gamespy/direct IP you need CDs for every human player present
