Transfer Module from Steam to Standalone

[stanknic]

I just moved from Steam to the standalone version of DCS. I pre-ordered the AH-64 on Steam, and was wondering if it will automatically transfer with my other modules to the standalone version.

It won't transfer automatically. But it's pretty easy to do. Here are the instructions:

Just refund the pre-order on Steam, and buy it from the DCS homepage when you transfer to the stand-alone version.

Not required. As hmleao also pointed out, you can transfer licences from Steam to DCS via DCS home page - Profile > Edit / Delete > Steam Account | [GET LICENCES].
Given your steam account is linked, it'll retrieve any available licences, and give you the option to transfer.

I've bought a number of modules via Steam for the standalone version that way, as I didn't have easy access to a credit card.

Pre-orders themselves are not transferrable, but once the module is released they are able to be transferred precisely as mentioned above. Nothing to necessarily worry about, and refunding/rebuying is also far from a necessity.

One does not "transfer" the licenses from Steam, right? It just makes them available for the Standalone. True?

yes, correct. What you actually do is to have the ED Store bind the Steam putchases onto your ED account. Then you still have to install those modules on the stand-alone DCS.
