For anyone still seeing the MiG-21BiS activation issue in DCS OpenBeta 1.5.0.45208, try running as Administrator (right-click the shortcut, "Run as administrator"). That allowed me to re-enter my activation key, and then the MiG-21BiS module worked for future runs without Admin privileges.

 

Of course, now I'm short two activations with these shenanigans 8-/

Adding Ram and BluRay drive change forces reactivation?

 

This is WAY too draconian in my opinion. Adding Ram and changing to a bluray drive are very peripheral and common changes and to force a re-activation on this seems really extreme to me. I'm very unhappy with your activation policy. BTW: Yours was the only module that required reactivation on me making these minor changes to my system.

I bought the MiG-21 on steam, and I try to de-activate it, but it said "Application deactivation is impossible. Your license does not allow the deactivation or the number of deactivations allowed by the license is exceeded. Contact the product publisher." I only install it on my personal only once, is it the same problem which is mentioned by the cobra?

So should I delete the series key in REG? And de-activate it again?

I agree with dr20, I lost an activation just by adding some extra RAM.

Love the sim, hate the DRM.

Hi! I wanted to deactivate my Module in DCS 1.2 (because I have it active in 1.5).

It worked, but now it said that I have only 4 Deactivations left.

 

De-activations? So De-Activating is limited now as well? I don't really understand this. So what if I have to install new Hardware, new OS more than 4 times?

I lost two activations last week when upgrading my RAM. I had to delete the registrymanually to get it activated again. I am really annoyed with this sort of protection.

Had another deactivation today and now it seems that I'm locked out from the MiG-21. I'm also getting this dialog that I have never seen before.

 

On DCS 1.5

I agree its over the top.

 

I lost an activation on the MiG-21 when I installed all my modules (via the Module Manager) into the 1.5 beta, even though the module was already installed on my 1.2 installation which is on the same SSD drive and in the same Eagle Dynamics folder as 1.5 :( All the other modules I have just installed no problem.

 

I'm down to 1 left for the MiG-21 now, all my other modules still have 8 or 9 activations remaining..

System :-

i7-12700K 3.6 GHz 12 core, ASUS ROG Strix Z690-A Gaming, 64GB Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 3200MHz, 24GB Asus ROG Strix Geforce RTX 3090, 1x 500GB Samsung 980 PRO M.2, 1x 2TB Samsung 980 PRO M.2, Corsair 1000W RMx Series Modular 80 Plus Gold PSU, Windows 10.

I am down to ZERO left for no reason.

 

On next request no more MiG-21 for me till end of month :(

 

I got 1 reply to my mail, I wrote back and requested a new license...ever since silence :(

 

Not good !

 

This leaves a bad taste as I get punished in my rights to install and use, deactivate at will ( didnt work for a long time, as some more modules too ) at anytime.

 

 

The only good thing is that I am not alone as that would be a lost battle but we are many meanwhile fighting this obsolete Activation feature that by evidence cuts our rights

 

that we trustfully paid for.

 

 

Please contact me via PM and replace my lic to a fresh one that holds ten activations.

 

 

Why is this so darn complicated and frustrating for all involved, for us customers being forced to work on the registry, for the devs to find the bug, for ED as it always shades a bad light

back to DCS as a whole.

 

 

It would be only fair to make a poll and ask the forum how many have licensing issues, not only MiG-21 but in general and over time as past hicc ups that costed you an activation is still an activation missing today.

 

If they only grant us 10 to play with, we can ask for a fair play ground to handle those precious goods. Right now I can see at least me as a customer on the loosing side, where are my rights ???

 

If ED grants 10 only, grant them on a fair play term with working modules that ALWAYS allow deactivation ( some didnt for months ) and dont use up activations for no reason.

 

 

It is anything but unfair to handle it any other way imho. We understand the need of copyprotection but please also see our side of the turf as untouchable as yours and also strive as hard as you can to keep our rights up the same way that you protect your rights. One comes with the other.

Everyone always receives a replacement key with no questions asked, regardless of how many real or broken 'activations' have occured.

We don't limit you to 10. That is just the initial number.

 

I got 1 reply to my mail, I wrote back and requested a new license...ever since silence :(

 

In our latest correspondence, I asked you to try the registry fix.

I have not heard back from you since.

 

If I was aware that you were still having trouble - you would have a new key already.

It's the only module in which we have problems. I have 9 activations in all modules except this one.

Received a new key and I'm now able to fly again :thumbup:

 

Thanks again Cobra

 

Just one more question. How do I bind the new key to my account? I'm getting the following error.

 

 

EDIT:

 

All fixed up and working now.

Hi Cobra874 , i sent an email yesterday and so far gotten no response.Title "This Serial Number is blacklisted",might be missed.

I got the key from my friend instead of E-Shop , will this cause the key blacklisted?

Posted

Well, my issue is now fixed. I upgraded from win7 to win10, and the activation worked! My activation was freezing after I clicked "OK". But now it works! I'm so pumped! I emailed Cobra to let him know.

 

Maybe this will help someone in the troubleshooting area.
