sdaskalo Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Dear team, I am about to sell my PC and I am currently in the process of building a new one. I need to know what would be the best method to transporting DCS and all my modules to the new PC. Do I need to de-activate them all first and then re-activated them to the new PC, having downloaded the latest version of DCS first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlacleyCole Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Yes deactivate iirc then copy/move dcs directory to new location and reactivate. This because unless I’m confused it uses your hard ward info somehow. I hope I’m wrong as o plan on building a new pc just for Flt simming and will need to move everything over but I’m thinking I’m going to reinstall everything on it’s I’m having a problem or two p,us want to do things in steps as I have several third party apps like VoiceAttack , srs, gametrix seat, etc that might need to be installed clean to get everything to work without problems. My new pc is gonna have three nvme gum drives one for os two 1tb for dcs and xplane then a 4 tb hdd for library function and more for other apps BlackeyCole 20years usaf XP-11.

sdaskalo Posted December 6, 2019 Author Share Posted December 6, 2019 Hi BlacleyCole, I guess we have the same task at hand then! Same PC NVMe specs also! I think I will go on de-activating all first, since I totally change HW and OS moving to Win10. You may loose one activation in the process, but heck, I change PC once every 8 years! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreightDog Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 I’m about to upgrade cpu so I will need to go through this process, can anyone tell me how to do the deactivation? When I search most of the results are from many years ago so want to make sure I’ve got the latest info. Anyone able to help?

When I search most of the results are from many years ago so want to make sure I’ve got the latest info. Anyone able to help? The deactivation is required only for those DCS Modules that still use the ancient Star Force (DRM) Copy-protection, and these are a minority ... most DCS Modules use a protection like Steam's, where the Modules are linked to your ED user account. You can identify the ones that use DRM by looking at them on the Module Manager: Note that only a few of my Modules have this type of copy-protection. To deactivate, click on the DRM button and follow the on-screen instructions.
