Notice: Keys purchased here can not be used to activate DCS products on Steam! ??

Several months ago STEAM decided they would no longer merge the keys purchased in the ED store with their database.

 

Keys purchased in the ED store will not work with a STEAM install the normal way.

 

There is a way described on these forums to "backdoor" the install and make it work, but this is less than ideal since you can't auto update after.

 

If you are so inclined, contact STEAM and let them know you would like to see this changed.

Which thread describes this ? I see the products being sold as DLC on steam to significantly higher prices than here. Maybe they hope to seel them and don't wan't us to buy here.

Shouldn't there be another way that is to install DCS outside steam ? Maybe it's possible to have two installations ?

With the Holidays coming up, I would bet on sales, both here and on Steam, within the next six weeks.

Dear all,

 

We learned from Valve/Steam that they will be unable to continue merging DCS keys purchased outside of the Steam Store. As such and as of today, please note that any keys purchased outside of the Steam Store can no longer be used to activate DCS products on Steam.

 

We will be working with Steam to merge all keys purchased prior to today. We can make no promises as to when or if this will happen though… that is out of our hands.

 

Please note though that keys purchased on the Steam store will work on DCS World downloaded from the DCS Store.

 

Thanks
