DCS Addon Licensing between Windows10 User Profiles.

Recommended Posts

Hi Ladies and Gentlemen,

 

 

I recently created a new user on my PC to switch to when I stream or record videos.

 

 

Rather annoyingly when I start DCS from this user profile, I get all the licensing windows for add-ons pop up again asking for activation. Naturally I don't want to use up 'activations' unnecessarily. It's on the same Windows installation after all.

 

 

Is there a way to fix this that anyone knows of?

The profile switch in windows means you are using a different account and registry.

 

You will need to use an activation.

You could try this:

 

Using windows’ RegEdit utility, while connected with the previous user, backup this key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Eagle Dynamics/

 

Now connect with the new user, run the utility again and restore the key.

 

Not sure if it will work, buth worth a try .... ONLY if you havent yet activated the modules on the new user.
