JCook Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 I am in the process of building a new PC dedicated for DCS flight simming. It may be a few weeks until I get it built, however I would like to take advantage of the holiday sale and purchase some modules. If I purchase the "on sale" modules now - I don't want to install them on my current PC, which I am decommissioning. I want to download and install the purchase modules at a later date. How would I work this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCook Posted December 26, 2016 Author Share Posted December 26, 2016 Thanks razo+r, question is can I buy the modules now and install them later when I have the new PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilWillis Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Yes, you can buy modules. You'll get an e-mail with the serial number for each module, then simply log in with your user I'D as part of the installation of DCS WORLD, and you'll be asked if you want to download all the modules. To activate them, copy and paste the serial number you were sent when requested. Best to print and keep your serial number e-mails of course.

JCook Posted December 26, 2016 Author Share Posted December 26, 2016 Great. That is what I was hoping for: purchasing gets me the eMails with the SN for the modules - then later after I've setup DCSWorld on the new PC I will use the info from the eMails. ---------------------- A related question is transferring my current modules. I have the FC3, A10C and Nevada modules. After I have the new PC built I plan to: 1) Use the xxx_protect program for each of these 3 modules 2) Download DCS Workd 1.5 and 2.0 and install them 3) Within DCSWorld - download the FC3, A10C and Nevada and reactivate them 4) Within DCSWorld - download the "on sale" modules and activate them Sound right? I also want to install all the DCS software on its own dedicated SSD separate from the OS SSD. Any problem doing that? Thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCook Posted April 14, 2017 Author Share Posted April 14, 2017 Does DCS have any good user guides for dealing with reinstalling or transferring titles to another PC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cichlidfan Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Does DCS have any good user guides for dealing with reinstalling or transferring titles to another PC? Aside from various forum posts, there is no guide as such. All you need to do is deactivate the modules on the old PC then install everything on the new PC and reactivate.

JCook Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) Installs cichlidfan - It looks like I have my A10C and related A10 modules installed on my new PC. I have deactivated DCSW2 on my old PC. Q: Am I correct in assuming I need to download DCSW2 from the website (not from within DCSW1.x)? And then my Nevada scenery should show up there and I can apply the license to activate it on the new PC? Q: Will the A10C (already installed in DCSW1.x) appear in DCSW2? Or, do I need to download that again for DCSW2. Edited July 28, 2017 by JCook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will detect the A-10 is installed in 1.5, and copy the files from there. Check my F-15C guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
