Hi,
My Windows 10 computer (Precision T5810) died and I got a replacement machine (Precision T7910) that is very similar. I transferred my HDD, HBA, NICs Video Card.
Windows 10 Pro seem to have tolerated this pretty well but DCS World didn't: I cannot re-activate both of my purchases: A-10A and F-15C.
When DCS starts, it says that the H/W has changed and that A-10A must be re-activated.
When I select '[Retry]', it shows another window with my Serial Number in it. From there, selecting '[Next]' goes to:
- Automatic Activation in Progress.
And then:
- Activation is successfully completed. License parameters: Activations left: 8
(that number is always '8').
From there, selecting '[OK]' discards the previous wino and nothing else happens.
If, instead of selecting '[Retry]' for A-10A, I select '[Exit]' -then- I get the same type of window (3 choices: Exit, Error report and Retry) but for the F-15C and the same sequence happens again (for the F-15C).
I've tried 'I already have an activation key' (which I obtained from StarForce using the info provided by DCS) but it didn't make a difference: I always get prompted to Re-Activate when I start DCS World.
The only way for me to start DCS World at all is to select '[Exit]' for both the A-10A and the F-15C but then those two planes only function in 'demo' mode (the Map shows up immediately and controls have no effect). The SU-25T works fine.
Any ideas?
