question about activations 3 lmit

[hannibal]

let say i reinstalled my computer more than 3 times or have gotten and upgrade in which i would have hit the limit of number of activations,

 

say i never even got to play,

what happens from there? :/

[Nevyn]

Yeah I would also like to know this, I am down to one activation after upgrading and then a system crash, and I haven't flown the campaign either yet, I have a another system upgrade coming soon, so this is a concern.

If it works the same as aircraft modules once you have used your last activation, you will be credited with one more a month after you used the last one.

Has anyone tried to deactivate the campaign? I don't own it, but perhaps deactivation is an option.

can someone confirm this?

 

i thought i read that for regular modules have about 9 activations, and once jan 1st rolls around, it gets reset to the full 9 activations..

There are 10 for my modules and they never get reset to nine or ten activations, ever. You get a single new activation, 30 days after you use your last activation, when your remaining number of activations reaches zero. When you use that newly gained activation, and your count returns to zero, you will get another activation (after 30 days). It will continue that way until the sun goes out, or the Vogons destroy the earth, whichever comes first. ;)

thank you. i wonder if this is the same for DLC..

[cichlidfan]

I don't own the campaign but I would hope the replenishment system is the same. I wonder if it can be deactivated, like an aircraft module.

[gerd]

Well, the number of deactivations is also limited (10 for regular modules), so it is the same like having 20 activations from the start, isn't it?

Yes

[RangerUK]

I have just checked mine and you get the choice to either activate or deactivate .

Hope that helps

This was the response I received from Eagle Dynamics when I asked them about activations just over a year ago. Just thought I should share.

Hello.

 

My recommendations is:

Before:

-Change your computer hardware or

-Reinstall the operating system

Deactivate your modules, that would not lose one activation on the updated configuration.

But don't worry.

Activations endless.

This means that when the activation is completely used, through 30 days will be added another one, i.e. will be for 1 more.

 

Best regards and many happy landings !
