minimi66 Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 Hi, Got a new Asus R20AJ ROG gaming system arriving sometime next week. Obviously i want to make the process of re-installing DCS World 2.0 Alpha, all modules and probably 1.5 Beta too as painless as possible. Can i copy all the relevant folders/files from my existing system to a portable HD then onto the new PC in the correct location and just run the updater/installer to check for and install any new/additional files needed etc? Or, dare i ask it? Will i have to do a fresh re-download and install from within 2.0 and 1.5 interfaces? Please say NO!!!

boedha68 Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 No...:D....... I think you can copy all over, but all activations goes 1 off.

minimi66 Posted December 5, 2015 Author Posted December 5, 2015 Ok, cool well i'll certainly try that first anyway? Yeah, the activations thing? Never really been able to get my head around paying my hard-earned green for something but then one day having to run the risk of paying for it again just because i upgraded or had to do a system restore or some such? I mean i completely understand copyright protection and DRM etc. but a finite number of times seems draconian to me? Still i've got plenty of activations left on all modules and once installed on new PC that should be it for a couple of years at least? Thanks for the heads up!

boedha68 Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 If all activations are gone, you get 1 activation back a month, so you don't have to pay again. Only can cost it some time.

After that you should be able to move the and replace all of your OpenAlpha folders. Run a repair afterwards just to be sure nothing became corrupted.

AtaliaA1 Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 It May be to late for this but, I always order PC with out the OS installed in order to allow the transfer of my existing OS and files onto the new PC. I usually have things set the way I like them on my older PC and prefer to just set the newer PC just as my older one is set up. Migration Tools are awesome.
