Reinstalling old planes and Activation Count


jerryo

Recommended Posts

I installed the DCS Open Beta in order to use the new F14B .. ( it wouldn't

work with the Stable Version so i was advised to use Open Beta and it now works ) :)

 

Open Beta does not want to coexist with the Regular DCS World

 

that was already installed...Installing Open Beta removed the my perfectly working Stable Version

 

 

Is there a way to have DCS Open Beta and a separate Stable Version on the same PC ?

 

 

So my question is , as i reinstall and rebuild my DCS worlds the

 

activation count reduces for the older planes .

 

 

Eventually if i keep this up i will have to repurchase all my old birds :(

 

 

 

Is it possible to get the count reset due to all the DCS reinstalls Ive done

over the years ?

 

 

Thanks

The activation info is stored on Windows registry, so you can reinstall dcs without having to deactivate/activate ..only a reinstall of windows or a change in hardware would trigger a reactivation.

It doesn't make much sense to have activation counts anyway since DCS checks with the server constantly to ensure proper license usage. If 10 machines are all using the same key at the same time, obviously something is wrong.

 

I've lost several activations already because I've installed modules on different computer builds.
