Registration server won't take my serial

[Rickenbacker]

I just purchased the download english version of DCS: BS, run it and eventually a popup asks for my serial number. I put it in, hit "next" and get this:

Activation denied by server. Определенные пользователем параметры некорректны. Проверьте параметры и, если ошибка повторится, обратитесь в службу технической поддержки. (Cannot pass a GCHandle across AppDomains.

Parameter name: handle)

 

I've also tried the alternate way of registering on the starforce website, but I get the same error message there. Any help appreciated, I'd like to be able to play the game I just paid $50 for, if that's OK!

It seems like the SF Servers are down at the moment. There should be back soon.

Well, that makes me feel a little better :). Now if TrackIR would only let me transfer my Vector from my old (broken) one to my new one, the world would be a better place :).

Update:

 

Servers are not offline. Please send a email containing :

 

your serial and your hardware code to:

 

activation@lockon.ru and in copy to ulrich@eagle.ru

Exact same problem here

 

I've just downloaded the files from the english version of DCS: BS and when trying to activate receive the same error message:

 

"Activation denied by server. Определенные пользователем параметры некорректны. Проверьте параметры и, если ошибка повторится, обратитесь в службу технической поддержки. (Cannot pass a GCHandle across AppDomains.

Parameter name: handle)"

 

Tryied disabling firewall and antivirus and didn't work.

 

My question is: Do I follow the same procedure given to the previous post?

And: Does it waste an activation every time I get this message?

 

Thanks.

Frodo, did you send the email as i stated above?

[Guest dukegamma]

I'm having the same problem. I sent the email as you instructed. When should I expect to hear back?

 

Thanks

Hopefully soon dukegamme. Keep in mind that in Moscow its 0100 AM right now.

[Guest Cyulas]

I'm getting the same error. Sent the email.

[Frodo170]

Frodo, did you send the email as i stated above?

 

No, that's part of my question. I'll send it right now, thx.

 

Edit: Incredible. When I entered the serial to get the hardware code... WORKED!!!! I'll begin to play in a while.

 

Thx, anyway.
