The following DLCs are not authorized - appears after a fresh install

[GVO]

Hello,

 

After installing the game on my new PC (hello 3090  ) suddenly my maps are not authorized. I never had this issue before.

 

It's a clean install and no mods. I tried to repair but no luck.

I have all these 3 maps and get this message when I start:

 

Authorization is valid for 2d 23h 59m

The following DLCs are not authorized and will be 
disabled:
MarianaIslands
Syria
Normandy

 

Have a nice evening

Make sure your time zone and time are right on your new pc

I had this after changing my cpu. Basically  I had to use another authorisation allowance for another pc if you follow.

As Ged33 said, check your time and timezone.  But the "Authorization is valid for 2d 23h 59m" says you either weren't connected to the internet or DCS didn't see you as connected and therefore couldn't check for authorization (i.e. you're starting in off-line mode).

Thanks for the replies. I checked my time and timezone and all is ok. And I just wonder why all the other DLC's I have are not affected? 

 

And it just names the 3 maps that are not authorized:
MarianaIslands
Syria
Normandy

 

But I can't even use Nevada map?

How did you do that?

That is no longer relevant with the new authorization system (previously authorization was tied to your hardware so major hardware changes caused issues.  That is no longer the case).  Have you tried making sure you are connected to the internet and tried launching DCS again?  It seems like for some reason not all of your modules got authorized and since you're not online when launching you're getting the "Authorization valid for" message and it can't check and authorize the modules that aren't currently authorized.

Hmmm I just realized that I copied the terrains from my old computer. It seems very likely that this is the reason. Will delete and download them and see if this helps.

just run a DCS_updater Repair, and it will fix any wrong file.

Ok, that solved the problem. It was because I just copied the terrain files from my old game. Thanks for all the replies, guys.

 

Have a nice day
