Dear Distiler, Panzertard, EtherealN; Thank you for your prompt reply... I was encouraged after I read your reply. Now I can try this wonderful program and will try not to format the hard disk frequently also. Thank you so much, everyone! Best regards, Tom14cat.

Hi, there, I need a clean answer from anyone.:helpsmilie: I recently purchase Boxed version DCS-Black Shark. But, I did not install the program yet, concerning the deactivation/reactivation limit. I use Windows XP SP3 as an operating system. The problem is that I usually format the hard disk every 4 - 6 months and reinstall Windows XP (by using the same Windows XP CD, and update to SP3) and other programs, to keep my computer clean. Question #1. Should I deactivate DCS Black Shark before formatting the hard disk, and reinstall the Windows XP, in order to get the deactivation code for next reactivation? (I think I have to do.) Question #2. If I reinstall the same version of Winodws XP and the DCS Black Shark, and reactivate it using previous deactivation code in the same computer, what will happen when I try to deactivate it again on the same computer? 1) a loss of deactivation count with another deactivation code? or no loss of deactivation count with another deactivation code? 2) Is reactivation possible without a loss of activation count ? or Will there be new activation (a loss of activation count) during the next installation of the game on the same computer? (simply, is the below possible ? activation => deactivation => (formatting) => reactivation => deactivation => (formatting) => reactivation - ...... without further loss of activation count or deactivation count on the same computer with same OS? ) If there is a loss, I think it is ridiculous to lose activation, or deactivation count just only because of frequent formatting and reinstallation of same operating system on the same computer without any change of hardwares.:huh: Thank you for your attention. Sincerely, Tom14cat.
