Bartacomus Posted April 23, 2021 Posted April 23, 2021 (edited) reset computer, reinstalled DCSW on SSD drive. I have DCS on a HDD, i copied my KA50 from the Hard Drive to my SSD. Works fine. I just tried to copy 6 more modules.. This time i get an authorization failure. code 500. and the A10 Av8 and Hornet i copied are disabled. I own all these modules. recap.. copied ka50 over to new drive. worked. copied a10, harrier, hornet, mi8, mig15, f86c all at once. A10 Harrier and Hornet not authorized. EDIT: NO MODULES appear in game now. Both DCS folders (both beta versions) work fine. My password works on both. EDIT: No Modules listed anymore. (i turned off hibernation today, and i ran a windows debloat a few days ago) Edited April 23, 2021 by Bartacomus change in data
Bartacomus Posted April 23, 2021 Author Posted April 23, 2021 Id like to add that none of the modules are active. Even the one i copied earlier today that was working. the KA50. DCSW said "A10, harrier, and Hornet or disabled" but everything i copied is disabled too.. include the mi8, sabre and mig15. And Ka50 which was working.
Flappie Posted April 23, 2021 Posted April 23, 2021 (edited) Hi @Bartacomus. Believe it or not, it's just a question of time. Your PC time and date must be synchronized AND on the right timezone. And if you can't get it to work, see here: Edited April 23, 2021 by Flappie 1 ---
Bartacomus Posted April 23, 2021 Author Posted April 23, 2021 (edited) That worked for Authorization, Thank you. It still wont accept modules transferred from D:\ drive to my ssd C:\ drive. I fixed date and time, ran cleanup and repair from powershell. Deleted everything in mods\aircraft folder. then deleted users\saves\dcs (and dcs created a new one automatically) I downloaded the mi8.. and it worked. I copied the a10cii and f86f from d:\ to c:\, it asked for admin permission. then copies to mods\aircraft. EDIT: i deleted the AppData and authdata.bin you mentioned in the link when i boot, it says the A10c is unauthorized, (doesnt mention the f86). When i try to start a game, it shows the mi8 i downloaded, but does not show the a10 or the f86. Any final ideas? before i have to download a dozen modules and terrains (i have to pay for data unfortunately) Edited April 23, 2021 by Bartacomus added info
Flappie Posted April 23, 2021 Posted April 23, 2021 You shoud try a DCS repair. Choose "slow" mode. ---

Choose "slow" mode. @Bartacomus Yes, that will probably fix your issue ... just be aware that the Repair may download a fair bit of data, for example to correct files that are of a wrong version.

Bartacomus Posted April 23, 2021 Author Posted April 23, 2021 just tried slow repair. copied the harrier over, still wouldnt authorize its use. im a little lost at this point. is it possible each version of DCS-BETA is registered to a different timezone? but uses the same user account and password? idk. i might have to bite the bullet here. i do appreciate, walking me through all this. i bet you guys answer the same question incessantly.

The repair is for fixing things AFTER you do these file copies .. see, you installed a new DCS and then you are copying over portions of another DCS install onto it .. if that other install is a slightly different version you end up with a mixed install .. the Repair process corrects this by ensuring that all the files match the same version. Note also that you have now two repair tools: one on your old DCS and another on the new DCS .. the one you have to run is the one on the new DCS. 1 hour ago, Bartacomus said: is it possible each version of DCS-BETA is registered to a different timezone? but uses the same user account and password? All DCS installs that you have use the timezone of your Windows, so all of them use the same one. The user account should be the same for all your install, do you have more than one user account? Your purchases are linked to the account that made them, so if you start DCS with another account then it will not have access to modules purchased with a different account.

Bartacomus Posted April 24, 2021 Author Posted April 24, 2021 Didnt work. The slow repair and quick repair. The Cleanup tool located the 3 modules i tried copying.. the harrier was the only module it told me wasnt authorized, but it also deactivated the f86 mig15. I really appreciate the effort fellas. :) at this point the updates cost me a gig to download each time, itll be cheaper just to download the modules. i guess this one is going to be a mystery! Thanks for your time and effort.
