Modules not authorized to be used with my account

[Fukitsuna]

Hi everyone,
Today I executed DCS openbeta as usual and several popups appeared reporting " [ModuleX] not authorized to be used with your account".

I noticed the modules giving this error are the ones I bought when I had the game on steam (I'm on standalone now since mid 2020 I believe).
I tried to retrieve the code on steam but I've been unsuccessful. 

Does anyone know how to fix this?
Hoping to be in the right forum section and thanks in advance!

Just had same problem. Several of my modules show up as unauthorized and I cannot access them. Current open beta and they appear to be modules that I purchased on Steam and then transferred over a year ago.

same here...

Seems to be all the Steam clients in our Wing. Everyone on local client is working.

there's some issue with the backend that handles DCS licenses on steam's end.

[Roosterfeet]

I transferred my Steam licenses to ED a long time ago and have been running the ED standalone version. I assume the problem must be on ED's end but who knows. I just hope it gets resolved soon.

Having the exact same issue.  Transferred from Steam to Standalone over a year ago.  Tonight all my transferred modules are giving the same message as the OP.  For me this means PG, Nevada, FC3, CA, Gazelle, Mi-8Hip, and Huey, are not working.

Same problem here with all my paid modules deactivating on Steam. Repair doesn't help, it seems to be an auth server issue of some sort...

@BIGNEWY I figured I'd tag a mod and hope they see that this widespread issue. I didn't want to repost as it's already posted, but this probably should have been placed in the bugs forum rather than installation issues...

Morning all, 

just woken up here in the UK, yes it seems there is a possible steam issue the team are looking into it.

 

thanks

[BIGNEWY]

Please note you may need to rebind your steam account to your ED account to resolve this. 

 

thank you

I was never on Steam, I have been on the standalone since the very beginning. I started DCS today and All my modules say "Failed to get Authorization Data: Error Code is:500. No Saved  Authorization Found.

I go through and reauthorize the modules , then next time I start it I get the same problem and error.

Check your PC time, the authorization check is date-sensitive ... be sure to have both the Time Zone and the Date/Time correct.

Yes, try what @Rudel_chw suggests about system time. Worked for others with the same issue.

V.2.7.7.16140 Open Beta

A-10a,F-15c,Su-25,Su-27,Yak-52 all Authorization failed

Authorization valid for 3 days: Channel, Su–25, SU-27, A-10a,F-15c,Yak-52and MiG-27

I get this message on the DCS DLC Registration page at startup every time. I just skip each one and then DCS starts. 
I have never used steam. My clock is in sync.

It’s been doing this for months but I have no idea why. I’d rather blow sh_t up! 
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks BarraCuda

Attach your dcs.log file to gather more clues about your issue.

Have you purchased those modules? If not have you tried them in free to play, and didn't uninstall them when the trial ended?

deirpo,
I didn't find the Channel map and the Yak-52 among your purchases. Perhaps these modules were installed during the "Free Play" promotion period.
Modules Su-25, SU-27, A-10a, F-15c, and MiG-27 delete via the Module Manager. These modules have nothing to do with the FC3 package you purchased.

Hi Guys, 

Sorry to revive this post; I am randomly having the same issues. My PG and F18 modules which were purchased on Steam years ago have suddenly become unauthorized after a repair. I have investigated the log, but cant see anything obvious.

it’s almost always better to create a new thread, than to revive a 2 year old  thread.
