I'm missing the <aircraft name>_protect.exe files needed for deactivation of modules

I might need to deactivate my modules (I might upgrade my PC) so I took a look into relevant folders.

For instance in:

...\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\MIG-21bis\bin

There should be a Mig21bis_protect.exe executabile, used for activation/deactivation of Starforce modules.

It's no longer there.

Same for Mig-15bis and L-39C (my two other StarForce modules).

I'm on DCS beta 2.5.5.32533.

I performed a repair. No change.

Also, in the game menu, in the module manager, I'm missing the DRM buttons:

Have these gone keyless or is this some bug?

If it's a bug, how can I fix it?

You don't need to deactivate them. ED retired starforce in some modules. Remains in others like FC3, Blackshark 2 and A10C.

Are you sure that applies to MiG-15bis, L-39 and MiG-21bis?

It could be the case, but I could not find any mention about this.

Also, they are not listed as keyless modules in the shop.

I forgot to mention: I am using the stand-alone DCS (not Steam version).

Mig-15, L-39 and Mig-29 are indeed keyless, it is also written in the shop page.

When I made the thread, those 3 were not listed as "Keyless" in the store page (I even posted a link to the store in June 23rd).

I see that they changed this recently.
