Deactivation issue, no deactivations left

[Jeesus]

Dear All!

 

I am having an issue and thought to post here first instead of a support ticket. I happen to need to reinstall my OS therefore I started to deactivate all my mods to reactivate them after fresh install.

 

The problem is that on of my modules, namely the A-10C ran out of deactivations last time I did similarly. Star force should give an extra after 31 days, at least that is what the support page says, but as the last deactivation was over a year ago, it clearly did not happen.

 

Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

Reread the page. That only applies to activations. Deactivations do not replenish.

I have never understood why ED went with this activate/deactive system.

 

Its paid for, who cares how many times you reinstall your OS or upgrade your system? That data truely is nobodies business but your own.

 

Overcomplicated to say the least.

If they didn't have an activation limit then everyone on earth could activate the game with one code and ED would be out of business the next day.

 

What I don't understand is why they care how many times the module is deactivated. reactivation is one thing, but deactivation?

I've had a lot of games with activation codes and non of which had a limit to my knowledge.

I have run into, only a few times, in the past but it has been a long time.

 

I agree, that limited deactivations make no sense to me. I would love to see a quote from the Starforce exec that came up with that idea, especially one where it is explained to the customer (ED, in this case) as a benefit.
