Does a module have activations for each version of DCS

[scotth6]

Hi,

 

It seems to be that when a new module is purchased it needs to be activated in each version of DCS (1.5 beta, 1.5 stable, 2.0 Alpha). If a module has 10 activations, does this mean that it has 10 activations per version of DCS World, or does it use up 3 activations out of the 10 activating in to three versions of the sim?

 

Cheers,

No it doesn't.

 

One activation per machine.

 

I am quite puzzled how you could even come to that conclusion.

Well I have had to activate modules in different versions in the past. That is how I came to that conclusion. Are you telling me I shouldn't have had to do that? Then why are different versions all asking for a module to be activated?

There is only one registry entry and you can have 30 different versions of the sim installed but they will still only access that one registry entry for any given aircraft.

Cichlidfan is right, you should activate each module only once, regardless of how many different DCS versions and installations you have on your PC.

 

Any particular module that gives you activation troubles?

What you may have seen is that the modules are activated where they are first used; so for example the Nevada terrain and the Red Flag Campaigns are activated only when I run DCS 2.0 and not on DCS 1.5

The same module? Probably not. Have you actually checked your licenses, on your profile page, to see how many activations have been used?
