kungfoo Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 Activation consistently fails after update of Windows and Beta3 I have recently updated to Windows 10 and also today to the new beta release 3. When starting DCS, it detects a 'significant' hardware change and wants to activate Mig21. It can't activate Mig21-Bis, it just keeps going in loops without the activation ever working... all the other modules just work. What gives?
Steggles Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 There is a sticky thread in this very forum about that. It's a known problem with the protection system. -16AGR- 16th Air Guards Regiment is always looking for pilots - http://www.16agr.com EWRS - Early Warning Radar Script Specs: Gigabyte Sniper Z5-S Intel i5-4670k 3.4GHz OC'd 3.9GHz w/ Thermaltake 120mm Water 3.0 Pro Liquid CPU Cooler 16GB RAM Gigabyte GTX 1080 TM Hotas Warthog: SN: 06976 Saitek Pro Flight Combat Rudder Pedals TrackIR5 with TrackClipPro & Oculus Rift 2x 28" 4k UHD Monitors (3840x2160 each) + 1280x1024
kungfoo Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 Thank you, that fiex it. I looked at the threads, but somehow overlooked that one. Thanks for helping.
Lange_666 Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 After today's update, the Mig-21bis activation BUG roarded it's ugly head again. The Activation Key is not valid any more due to significant changes of the computer hardware configuration. Click "Retry" to reactivate the application. If the error recurs, click "Error report" and send the report to product technical support. Had to re-activate on the previous update. It's not how to by-pass the problem, it's about time it gets FIXED! For the time being my Mig stays on the ground.

ThorBrasil Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 (edited) Thank LN you have all my respect. Thanks for the new key. After today's update. I lost 3 keys trying to activate again. It only works after you delete the registry key. After the MiG activated normally. I sent email to retrieve the key.

Yurgon Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 Since the 1.5.1 update, the MiG-21bis module asks for activation twice whenever I start DCS OpenBeta. Since I don't currently plan on flying the MiG-21, I cancel these dialogs, but it would be nice if they disappeared altogether, since no major hardware changes took place recently (as in: no hardware changes at all :music_whistling:).
Esac_mirmidon Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 I will try to help a little with the Activation Issue for the Mig-21. It seems that if you REACTIVATE the module on the Open Beta, and after you try to play on 1.2.16, the copy protection ask you again to REACTIVATE in 1.2.16 After that if you play AGAIN on OPEN BETA, it ask you to REACTIVATE again. So it´s a rebound problem not only in Open Beta but also in 1.2.16 So be careful if you reactivate the Mig-21 in Open Beta and then you launch in 1.2,16 because they are going to ask you again for the same. And viceversa. 1 " You must think in russian.."

pepin1234 Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 Hello I have only 5 activation and I only have installed the Mig-21 ones. In two days I cant fly the Mig-21. No hot-fix planed for the next hours? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Johnny Dioxin Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 I just updated to the new OB 1.5.1 and straight away got the message that my MiG-21bis was deactivated "due to hardware changes". I exited (twice, as it comes up twice) to come here and seek a solution. I wasn't even running the sim itself, just the updater :huh: Although I had the MiG-21bis installed and activated in the previous 1.5.0 beta, I haven't flown it in months!

Airway Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 I'm down to six activation for just one installation and activation. Due to bugs and issues, No problems with any other module - why?
Sokol1_br Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 Well, before install this 1.51 patch I deactivate the Mig-21, install the patch and activate again, no activation was used, remain 9. :thumbup:
Johnny Dioxin Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 Yes - that's great when you know there's a problem beforehand ;) I didn't - but I'm not really bothered, it's just something that maybe should be looked at. If the upgrade to 1.5 release version is going to cost people activations, they need to know about it in advance - such as in the patch release notes.

FishDoctor Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 I'm down to six activation for just one installation and activation. Due to bugs and issues, No problems with any other module - why? Same here, but I am down to 4. With only one real change in the hardware...
Marcelo82 Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 Que poca seriedad esta empresa, ya perdi 2 serials con uds. uno cuando cambie de computadora y otro ahora con la 1.5.1. * Cuando cambie de CPU pude desactivar todos los productos menos la porqueria esta del MIG-21 * Y ahora se actualiza la beta a la 1.5.1 y pierdo otra mas, y no solo eso sino que me desactiva de forma definitiva la key para la 1.2.16 Realmente tienen un soporte malo, ahora pregunto ya resignado de perder serials a lo loco con uds. puedo volver a activarlo sin que me vuelva a pedir nuevamente serial, o lo borro y lo dejo archivado hasta que vuelva Jesus a la tierra a buscarnos a todos los cristianos. Ojala se los coma un Leon :/

tintifaxl Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 Same here with 1.5.1 ... The activation issues for the Mig-21 module have become very annoying for me now. @LN: Do you have any plans to remedy the situation once and for all?

Blade_meister Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 I have the same problem. I have at least one, if not two, reactivations because of a hardware change when no changes were made. Who or where do we write at LN to recover reactivations ? Thanks in advance. S! Blade<><

Cobra847 Posted November 11, 2015 Author Posted November 11, 2015 5 New Activations have now been added to every serial number regardless of previous level. The final fix for this issue will eventually require you to re-activate one final time. More information on that later.
