Activation based on CPU?

hey folks, last hours i tried upgrading (actually downgrading by some standards) from xeon to i7 6800K. Same OS same everything else, after some routine-systematic-driver-repatching in response to newly installed CPU, the program asked me to relogin followed by a request of reactivating modules i previously bought on steam. Things back to normal when i switch back to old rig, it appears that the activation mechanism is CPU-basis, or partially based as we all know redoing operating system will cost tickets as well. It's intriguing if someone can try different ones of the same spec to see if it will only match the one you activate with.

for those who concern the 6800k despite that the image tends to shatter like a show looked like some sort of vsync issue. Generally speaking it performs a bit smoother compared with my old xeon, which has times three cores but two thirds speed. After a deep though of, like half a minute, I chose to keep hold the xeon, and activation tickets as well.

This is what it still is in DCS as far as I know when it comes to licensing..?

An activation will be required if the hardware/software changes exceed 12 points as rated below:

CPU ID: 13

Windows PID: 3

Computer Name: 3

Hard drive volume serial number: 3

MAC address: 6

RAM amount: 6

If you are going to hit the 12 point limit (CPU 13), all you need to do so you don't lose any activation is to deactivate the modules from the manager, then make changes to you PC, then reactivate modules.

you should deactivate your modules before the hardware change

 

you also have to ensure you are not in offline mode before the change.

 

DRM is linked to your hardware ID

I see, that explains why. Policy is a little bit strict for those boosting the gears on regular basis:ermm:

If only my Grub Boot Manager knew about DRM. It didn't and thus just quit w/o a chance to repair/fix/replace, so i reinstalled 10 lately...loosing another one.

Yah, it has a catch back
