I am not worried about DCS and activations if you run out. I have run out on other products through the years and it's a simple request to ED or their partners and they do a simple check that you are the owner of their software product and 10 or so activations appear. Great and they act fast too, good customer service with ED products.
However, my controls are still frozen in the cockpit of my Mig21 in DCS 1.5 and I can't do the 'follow the white rabbit' thing cos my controls won't WORK !!!!
