Dudester22 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Hi I keep getting a message to activate the Mig 21 Bis due to computer changes. I did change my computer parts to another case, but when I try to press to reactivate it again it wont work? Just keeps asking me to reactivate it everytime I start the game.

Huckle Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I'm getting a prompt to reactivate also. However, if I click twice on Exit, missions load. Other modules have the aircraft present, but when Mig missions load, the plane is missing. Works fine when I'm online, issue only present when disconnected from Internet.

jackmckay Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Me too. Reactivation required just after unplugging printer and switching between usb ports, I also switched joystick port to another freed. Tried to return to old state but didn't work. I had to reactivate and loose one activation slot for Mig21Bis?!. Not sure what it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bravo020 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Yes, same problem here.

Bravo020 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 (edited) Use this registry fix: http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/supportfiles/Mig-21_delete_activation_data.reg Thanks, Nick Well, sorry to say, but that did sweet diddly, now I get a message "can't run", "Sorry, only one instance is allowed.". Suggestions to resolve this would be greatly appreciated. Looks like QA is as poor as it has been... Restart, and try again appears to work. Asked for activation key again!?! Now down to 7 activations left! How do I get my activation count increased to the original level before this license issue debacle began?

Should you run out or have issues prior to this, feel free to e-mail me directly at nicholas.dackard@gmail.com If it eats an activation every time you run, also e-mail me. This has nothing to do with Q&A. Nicholas Dackard Founder & Lead Artist Heatblur Simulations https://www.facebook.com/heatblur/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
159th_Falcon Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Restart, and try again appears to work. Asked for activation key again!?! Now down to 7 activations left! How do I get my activation count increased to the original level before this license issue debacle began? Not sure how it works exactly but its either; You get a new activation added after a month or Once you use the last activation a new one is automaticly added after a month.

Bravo020 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 (edited) Thanks for the information. So this is just a random issue that occurs with a new release of software and isn't related to quality assurance? Or is this just the new way that this all works, when there is a new release of DCS, some random modules need to have their keys reentered?

Cobra847 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Thanks for the information. So this is just a random issue that occurs with a new release of software and isn't related to quality assurance? It's an error in the initial batch of keys and their set hardware binding.

cichlidfan Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Activations are added automatically at a rate of 1 per month. It is important to note that activations are not added until the number of activations reaches zero. Also, they are not added one per month. One activation is added one month after the activation count reaches zero. Then, when that activation is used (returning the count to zero), after one month another activation will be added. You will never have more than one activation after the count reaches zero the first time. No offense Cobra, I just wanted to clarify this as many do not understand it correctly.
