Fri13 Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 I so hoped that Steam edition would had StarForce removed.... i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.
zaelu Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Have you updated DCS today? After last update Mig21 asks for reactivation. Funny part is my new RAM is still at delivery post as I wasn't home to get it... It seems LNS Mig21 sniffed me I want to change it... Seriously... I guess the guy from uploads messed up again something. Very disappointing...

theropod Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 same here, key eater mig issue at start up! now 8 key left
rrohde Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 (edited) Same here... only 6 keys left after an official ED update. Not sure why LN's module is the outlier compared to all other DCS modules, but that's not the best customer experience when license keys are wasted in such a manner... https://screencloud.net/v/3p4O Edited November 7, 2015 by rrohde PC: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X | MSI Suprim GeForce 3090 TI | ASUS Prime X570-P | 128GB DDR4 3600 RAM | 2TB Samsung 870 EVO SSD | Win10 Pro 64bit Gear: HP Reverb G2 | JetPad FSE | VKB Gunfighter Pro Mk.III w/ MCG Ultimate VKBcontrollers.com
joey45 Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Likewise. New RAM last week. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Akatsuki Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Same here. And even worst. I launched 1.2.6 version of DCS to test something and had to activate again... When restarted DCS 1.5, guess what ? I had to re-re-activate again. :( I am down to 6 activations now...
Kilrah Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Yeah, 0 keys left here... ASUS Z370, i7 8086K @ 5,2 Ghz, ASUS Strix GTX 1080, 16GB Ram, TM HOTAS Warthog, TrackIR 5, Saitek combat rudders, 25" 1440p monitor, Oculus Rift
zaelu Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Yeah, 0 keys left here... OMG :megalol: Guys... just hit close button ( the "X" ) two times and go over the darn window. Give them time to fix this and play other planes. 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] I5 4670k, 32GB, GTX 1070, Thrustmaster TFRP, G940 Throttle extremely modded with Bodnar 0836X and Bu0836A, Warthog Joystick with F-18 grip, Oculus Rift S - Almost all is made from gifts from friends, the most expensive parts at least
Spectrum Legacy Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 (edited) I have the activation required window popping up once in a while for mig21 alone without any hardware change. I just close the window, then dcs itself, restart the machine and the issue is usually gone the next time I launch it. The starforce check at launch is rather finicky with this module it seems. Wasted only one activation so far, when I've updated bios (it updated and renamed my cpuid). Edit: My "usual method" doesn't work for the v1.5.1 activation issue though.

Krinje Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Its the most ass backwards system of DRM I've ever seen and it doesn't even accomplish what it sets out to do at the raw expense of the end user. 10 keys is simultaneously far too many to stop the exchange of modules between people and far too few for a frequent user (and the apparent false-positives). It doesn't do its job, and it (as this thread's existence is proof) annoys users. Do you need DRM? yes. Is this the answer? Its the second to worst I've ever seen behind 'you must always be connected to our server at all times' 1
greco.bernardi Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Same here. I will not waste my activation keys by Leatherneck fault. They have to fix the problem.
RoflSeal Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Yep I have the same problem just this update. Have not changed anything and no problems with other modules.
danilop Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 I uninstalled MiG-21, (but couldn't deactivate?). Not going to install it until the problem is sorted out. Off to download new update ...
splash Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 I was downloading the update but I cancelled as I don't want to waste one more key. We need a fix right now.
grunf Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 I'm going to deactivate before getting the update. I don't wanna waste another activation...
Flogger23m Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Same issue. Zero hardware changes, I just updated the beta. I seriously think LNS and ED need to re-think their stance on DRM. I do not think the extra layer of DRM is gaining them much in terms of sales but I do think the many issues that is causes for legitimate customers may strain the customer support services. Especially those like LNS who are comprised of only a few people. A one time activation (like Steam) would be more ideal. I think the current setup simply causes too many headaches for both the customer and developer. The past few times I've loaded up DCS I've had similar errors and it makes me less likely to sit down and play DCS.
Buzzles Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Same problem here. The fix in the sticky did work (fyi, all it does is delete the registry entry), so I'm up and running again. I don't blame LN for this as Starforce is terrible, shame it's a core part of ED's backend and therefore required at the moment. Fancy trying Star Citizen? Click here!
EAKMotorsports Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 damn same problem here, I just only doing the dcs update, no hardware upgrade.

OverStratos Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Can I join the club? Same here, and in two occasions without touching anything. That´s down to 8 for me. What is going on with DCS 1.5 and MiG-21??:mad:
Darkwolf Posted November 7, 2015 Author Posted November 7, 2015 Starforce works ok. All others modules works fine. It's just LN starforce version that is not the same. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] PC simulator news site. Also....Join the largest DCS community on Facebook :pilotfly:
Kayos Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 You shouldn't have to use activations for a beta in the first place. Stupid. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
