simo1000rr Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Hi everyone, i have a question regarding installing a new Video card in my PC, from what a i know is that DCS install record all the specs of your PC . so do i need to deactivate my Module ( i have bought 2 ) and then install the Video card then Reactivate them back?? Also if that's what i need to do , Do i lose all progress i achieved in the single player campaign and all my saves when i deactivate ? Thank you in advance for your help
Roadrunner Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 hi, you will not loose any progress. all you need to know is there: activation stuff most likely you woudnt even have to do it, but next time you would change hardware, you would loose an activation, so just do it now ;) somewhere is a point system that explains when a new activation would be required. regards, RR [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] "There's nothing to be gained by second guessing yourself.

Roadrunner Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 btw, if you dont know where to get your hardware code, you can look at https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/personal/licensing/index.php just enter your key there and check it, at the bottom of the generated view you will find it.

Roadrunner Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 found it: An activation will be required if the hardware/software changes exceed 12 points as rated below: CPU ID: 13 Windows PID: 3 Computer Name: 3 Hard drive volume serial number: 3 MAC address: 6 RAM amount: 6 *source: FC3 manual so for the graphic card it is not needed.

Arcto10 Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 QQ: What is the reason to deactivate the product? Does it recycle your activation? For example: If I have 3 activation's left and I know I am going to be upgrading my pc, when I deactivate does it change to 4?
cichlidfan Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 QQ: What is the reason to deactivate the product? Does it recycle your activation? Yes. For example: If I have 3 activation's left and I know I am going to be upgrading my pc, when I deactivate does it change to 4? I have never actually checked numbers after deactivating but, effectively, yes.
