FZG_Immel Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 ...Is there any way ton install Blackshark2 upgrade without installing blackshark 1 in the 1st place ? I have both blackshark 1, and the blackshark2 upgrade, but I am on a new PC now, and i want to install the BS2 upgrade on my DCS World install, but I really dont want to install Starforce on this PC... Is there any way i can install the BS2 upgrade without installing BS1 on this computer ? Can I install it on my OLD pc and retrieve some register keys, for example ? I can prove owernship of both BS1 and BS2 upgrade.. Is there any way to do it ? Thanks a lot !

FZG_Immel Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 I didnt buy the BS2 module... I have BS1 stand alone, and the BS2 upgrade... At the time, I bought the BS2 upgrade, my BS1 was already installed and went smooth. Now I have a new PC, and I dont want that stupid starforce on it... So i dont want to install the BS1 standalone.. But it seems that I have to in order to install the BS2 upgrade.. Actually, I am sure it could be done via a registry hack but I am also fairly certain that publishing such information would be frowned upon by ED. well, I can prove I have both legit products.. one is on my account (the BS2 upgrade) and I have the physicaal disk and key of BS1... Seems like I will have to guess the registery hack.. or someone feel free to send me a PM.

FZG_Immel Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 Maybe I could sell my not installed key of the blackshark2 upgrade for 10$ and buy the full bs2 standalone for dcs world... Damn, had I known I would have bought it in the first place and not go for the upgrade... It was only 10$ less... Damn, this is really stupid.. I have both keys... Why in the ****ing hell does it require that bs1 is installed ???

EtherealN Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) Which version of BS1 do you have? English DVD? Russian DVD? The former has almost exactly the same version of StarForce as all the other modules have, BS2 included, except that BS2 uses a slightly updated version that automatically reinstates the last activation after 30 days should you ever run out. In both cases they are driver-less and have less authority on your PC than any IM client.

Because it is unable to check the validity of a key that is for a different product than itself.

I have dcs world, and then I bought all these modules: A-10c, beta stage, bs2 upgrade, P-51D, UH-1 beta stage, FC3) Do you mean that startforce is already on my system with these ? Anyway to know if the starforce included with my French BS1 is as harmless as you say ?
