Jara4 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Hi, Suddenly I've had a similar problem to the aforementioned. I didn't change anything: and I'm still using my Windows 7 and did not make hardware changes. I experience exactly the same problem. I have lost five MiG-21 activations due this bug. No hardware change, no OS change, just DCS update. After each DCS World update I experience problem with MiG-21 module activation. Why?! Slowly I run out of all permited activations!

Vijar Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Hi, I sent you an email on 29 July, as I'm having trouble with my MiG-21 key, too. Maybe you have overlooked it, so I sent the email again today. If you could take a look at it, I would be very grateful. Best regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex1 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Hi I emailed you on the 17 August about activation issues, i just emailed you again, i hope you receive it.... sorry to tear you away from working on the Tomcat.... Kind Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anlq Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I lost my 4 activations continuously due to changing in my computer BIOS. Will this be compensated ? I don't know if when running out of key there is any additional key anymore (I remember some DCS modules will be added 1 activation after 1 or 2 months).

Casco Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Just had another spontaneous deactivation. Tried to Reactivate and got this Had to use the reg file fix to fix it. Down to one activation now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okieordie78 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Cobra, My issue is when I activate Mig21, the activation screen freezes up. I'll enter my key, click ok and it says Mig21 is activated and I used a key, but then it freezes up. I can't "X" out of it or anything. I have to use control panel to close the program. I emailed you about this. You sent me a new key which did not fix the issue. I have tried every possible step on these forums to fix this and nothing works. I uninstalled every module and unistalled DCS world and tried activating mig21 first to see if that fixed it and it still is not working. I'm at wits end. I think it's a software issue, I have not had this issue with any other module. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okieordie78 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I guess no one has this issue anymore? I browsed through the other modules I have to see if they have a "pcnsl" file like Mig21 does, and the weird thing is...they don't. The other aircraft I have all have a "protect" file. (ie a10protect, p51protect...etc). No pcnsl file that I could find. If you don't know, the pcnsl file is located in eagle dynamics/dcsworld/mods/aircraft/mig21/bin. If you look in the bin file of the other aircraft...no pcsnl file. The pcsnl file is also another alternate activation file if you don't want to use the game. All of my problems seem to focus on that file! I'm no programmer by any means...but with everyone having "activation" issues...I think this is the culprit. I could be wrong...but it just seems to add up. This December will be a year that I have owned mig21...and I STILL CAN'T FLY THE DANG THING!!!! ...sigh...

Don't worry, just ask for an all together brand new CD-key, they did that for me, and before installing the new CD-key i went and ran that program they sent me which is supposed to remove the old CD-key from the Windows memory. And it's supposed to let you reinstall an existing CD-key, but if you use that program and apply it prior to installing the BRAND NEW CD-key they give you it seemed to help make sure the newer CD-key had no more "issues" being read. Again though, like you, i'm no programmer, and for all i know it could've just been something about the newer CD-Key that made sure the problem wouldn't happen again, BUT...It's been about a month or more now since i reinstalled my mig-21 module and registered it with the brand new CD-key they gave me. And i've had ZERO issues since then. I'm telling yah bud,...ask for a new Key, the new ones they are giving out seem to nip this problem in the bud! And just have patience with the Developer it's basically ONE PERSON, doing the job of an ENTIRE customer support team! So imagine if you were him, trying to make a great sim AND have to be customer support to THOUSANDS of people at the same time! it's pretty commendable how well they are handling this! And also, if they don't respond to your email just remind them that you emailed them when you post here, and they cross-check that, and email you back right away! You just gotta cut them a little slack because again, it's basically one person handling a job of what SHOULD BE an entire department of people! Best of luck to you and don't forget to both, post here, AND email them for the fastest response time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okieordie78 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 For the life of me I don't understand why the keys are the issue, but...it is what it is. I sent Cobra another email, tried PMing him, but his box is full (imagine that). Just so you know you have my hopes really high right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airway Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Today my MiG-21 module stopped working too. Wanted to launch a quick mission and ended up in an error message, telling me the serial is invalid. It surely isn't. The module worked fine since September 17th, 2014, where I've bought it through DCS online store. No hardware changed, and all drivers and DCS up to date. I also tried to reinstall themodule, but got the same result. Sent an email to support@... but wanted to file this issue here too, as it's the only module not working for no reason.

El_Marta Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 (edited) I also ran into this problem today, after I had added 8 Gigs of RAM to my system. The registry fix in Step 1) in the first post did solve the problem. I had to remove the ".txt" expansion from the filename after downloading though. :) Edited September 18, 2015 by El_Marta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B25Mitch Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) EDIT: RESOLVED I am doing a clean DCS 1.5 install. Attempting to install Mig-21bis from the module manager, after the file download completes an activation message (admin rights) appears and I click yes. This results in the error below: I then click exit, and the same set of Activation > Error windows appear again. I have also tried this with the registry fix, the 1.5 hotfix, and uninstalling/reinstalling the module, all with no success. This continues to occur every time I start DCS, unless I delete the module. EDIT: A SYSTEM REBOOT SOLVED THIS ACTIVATION ISSUE Edited October 2, 2015 by B25Mitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
