"No key" when i try to get my serial numbers

[TeeJayD]

I cannot active any of my modules on DCS 2.1.1 because they don't show my serial neither they activate automatically. I own Nevada, Mig21, FC3, A10C and the MI8, i can download them normally but i cannot activate. My username is TymonDouglas

Hi

 

you can check your keys are bound to your account here

sometimes ingame you need to use the refresh button in the module manager before the key will show.

 

hope that helps

Nothing shows up, even though they show in the module manager however with no key.

Alll my keys are either from steam or a gift ( NTTR ), however the steam keys are old so they are properly bound to my username.

I have same problem, once I updated to the latest version all my keys went missing from the module manager, it just says No Key for all aircraft, however I can fly them and go multiplayer with everything except the p51, but i think that problem was caused during the update, it asked me to activate the p51, it was already activated so i said no and carried on with the update, now the pony doesnt work, but I guess a manual deac-react will fix it.

Same issues: all modules are correctly activated but says “no key”

Maybe the module manager is not able to access the registry of Windows where keys are stored?

When i got the no key error, I logged out of the module manager and when I tried to log back in it kept giving me a no internet connection error and wouldnt let me re-log in.

 

I restarted the game and still same thing, about an hour later I tried again and it logged me in but still the No Key error is there, but as mentioned I can fly all planes, well I think I can as I never tested them all, just a couple but I have to reactivate the pony I think.

Try to hide the "Key" box (click on the "arrow" symbol). Then wait a second and click on the box again. May be try two times. It will show your key then.

 

Repeat for each key/module.

 

At least that worked for me.

Cheers, will try that.

This method worked partially: if you close the module manager or restart DCS, you get "no key" again and must repeat the process.

Cosmetic bug for me, since anyway you can retrieve the key from your account ;)

Yeah, not perfect, but at least anything in one place.

Click on the key twice, open activation app, enter key... rinse and repeat.

 

Luckily you just need to do it once after a OS/PC migration. :)
