I installed my new DCS (EU download vers.) on my Windows 7 RTM 32bit.
All was ok; no problem in install,activation and playing.
On this machine I've a dedicate windows user account for games. This to have a much more possible clean profile( no antivirus, unnecessary services, no Aero) for single player games.
When I installed DCS, to prevent problem I used the Administrator account and the first game launch was under this account. After checked that all was ok, I switched to the "gaming" windows user. I was very surprised when a second activation was requested.
Why to use the game on the same computer but with a different user I've to lost an activation?
The only hardware difference on this machine between the 2 users was that when I was in the "gaming" users I connected my Saitek X52 (not installed, only connected). Infact when I installed the game using the administrator user , I used only mouse and keyboard to check if the game runs.
I'm very disappointed and I have a concern that attaching an usb device (Iphone,Ipod, USB HD,...) I'll lose a new key.
So, was the different user or the X52 that "stole" my second activation?
