Changing PC

[Emu]

I currently have DCS World, FC3, A-10C and Ka-50. My hard drive just took a dump and I'm now scrambling for a new PC. What is the score as regards re-downloading them? I only had my work stuff backed up.

You can redownload as much as you want, there are no restrictions. You have lost an activation if you system disk died but that is all.

[spacenavy90]

You gain activations back over time too. And if for some reason you legitimately run out of activations, ED will hook you up.

 

Don't worry. :)

You gain activations back over time too.

 

Actually, after you use your last activation, you gain one after thirty days. That is it until you use that one, after which you will again get a new one after 30 days.

Will I need the activation number from the old PC, or is it IP based?

[cichlidfan]

You will need your activation codes. If they were purchased/registered on ED's site then your account will have a record of them.

I did but I can't remember any details of my login. I've contacted eagle. Hopefully there's a way of tracing it. If not, looks like I'll be buying them again.

 

I least in a week my computer will no longer slow down when watching cluster bombs.;)

 

New spec on order:

 

i5-6600K

ASUS Pro Gaming MB

16 GB Corsair DDR4 Vengeance LPX Black, 2666MHz

Well, good luck with it. Yes, that rig should do fine, though I am not a fan of combo SSD/HDD drives.

Right I've find my login to the DCS site, can I use that to re-download?

What's the issue with SSHDs? Ah just looked it up. But turns out I actually ordered a standard HDD (the default anyway).

So am I right in thinking I simply:

 

1. Go to the DCS site and login.

 

2. View Profile & click on game Details.

 

3. Get 26 digit Product Key (+ 4 dashes), e.g. XX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX.

 

4. Download module again, enter product key too activate.

 

 

Do I need any other keys to activate.

Nope, only keys for the modules you want to install.

Okay, and I can redeem the Product/CD Key for my Steam purchased A-10C by following this:

And then download that from the DCS site instead of Steam if I want?

Thats right. Steam keys work on the standalone but the keys from the eShop will NOT work on Steam.

Okay I have a problem in Steam.

 

I bought DCS A10-C from Steam not DCS World, and when I right click, as above, the drop down is different. No View CD Key??

DO I need to redownload it from Steam before getting the 'view key' option? Which kind of defeats the object.

[cichlidfan]

I 'think' that if you just start the download of DCS World, and then cancel it, then you will be able to see DCS World in you library and access the DLC tab for the key.

You just click the "CD Key" option in the menu to the right.

Then you can see your key.

Thanks.:thumbup:

 

Probably worth noting that in the other thread.

Hehe, it is actually already mentioned in the post just below the first in that thread. ;)
