fixen Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 (edited) I have activated my onboard graphics (intel HD 4600 on a 4690K) because I wanted a second screen on my computer. It is an old screen and I don't have any VGA ports on my GTX970 (and the adapter is from VGA to DVI-I which I allready use). Now my mig-21 activation is corrupted and it said I did some significant changes to the system... I only enabled the onboard graphics, how is that a significant change. All other modules seem to be fine. Then I thought I would just reactivate it because I did not wan't the hassle and I can burn one activation. So I clicked the retry and tried to reactivate it. What I got was a memory error and the product still wasn't activated. Questions: 1. Is there any way which does not involve reinstalling to get it to work? 2. Why does only the mig-21 module complain and not the rest? I could ofcourse get a VGA to DVI adapter (i still have a DVI slot left on the GPU), or get a displayport cable for my main monitor but i feel it should work this way. Edited July 19, 2015 by fixen
Insanatrix Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 You should just have to reactivate. Adding or activating the GPU on your CPU constitutes a hardware change and the DRM requires you to reactivate. Maybe the Mig-21 uses an older version of Starforce or whatever the DRM is they use now? Really you should just have to reactivate it and you'll be fine. If you've run out of activations on your key then contact support and they should be able to give you more AFAIK.
