razorseal Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 I've had BS1 from a while back and bought the BS2 upgrade few years back. Trying to install BS2 now and It's not taking the update serial when i try to enter it. Can someone tell me how I need to install BS2 on my DCS world? DO I have have install BS1, followed by BS2 or something?
mondaysoff Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 If it is the hard copy (disc) yes, you have to install it and run it once, then install BS2. I would imagine it would be the same for a digital copy, not sure.
krazybiskit Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 yes you have to install BS 1 first and then install the upgrade..on a side note you can delete BS 1 after the upgrade is up and running.

Time ago, I saved the Black Shark 1 dvd as a binary image on my hd, just to be sure, as the last time I had installed it, my dvd player seemed to have trouble reading it. it's about 4 gigs, works a-right and of course it's much faster than the dvd. Thankfully DCS has a drm which allows for this kind of things, although it's something that's only related to BS.

razorseal Posted June 26, 2015 Author Posted June 26, 2015 ok i'll try that now. Hopefully it works...
razorseal Posted June 26, 2015 Author Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) ok this is the error I'm getting right now... any help? Activation denied by server. Invalid Hardware Code. Make sure the Serial Number used is valid for the product you are trying to activate, generate a new Hardware Code and try again. I installed BS1, activated it (didn't uninstall yet) then installed BS2 and get this error when I use my BS2 upgrade serial number. Could this be because the DCS website only has the full version for download and not the upgrade? I bought the upgrade, so maybe that's why it's not working because I'm trying to use an upgrade serial on a full version download? where do I find the upgrade version to download? it's no longer on the website. this is a pain in my a** :( Edited June 26, 2015 by razorseal
