Thanks. How do I access the key... Does DCS go looking for it automatically, do I write it down, etc...? I went to my steam account and I see my A-10 purchase there but nothing about an activation key...

Thanks. My question is how do I purchase from STEAM (as I did) yet NOT use STEAM to download the game as suggested on p. 1 of this thread? Installing instead from the DCS site getting the latest patch, etc from them. A few posts indicated there's an "activation code" that can be used after downloading the sim from DCS...

I'm a noob here so be gentle... So... I go to STEAM and purchase a download code. Then, I head over to the DCS site and download the sim/latest patch. Then, I use the key to "activate" the sim (not sure what that means)... And violla! I can play... BUT... What do I do if I build a new rig or reinstall, etc... DO I just keep the downloaded "key" and activate again? ok, here'e the message I got in an email frm STEAM. Note sure where I get the "activation key"... I have a STEAM account I opened for IL-2 COD, but that seems to be a STEAM only type game as far as updating, etc... If I understood previous posts right, I should be able to download a key and then get A-10 directly from the DCS site? Yes? --------- Dear Tom, Thank you for your recent purchase on Steam.
