J-1775 Posted April 23, 2023 Posted April 23, 2023 I'm a WWII backer and have both Normandy and Channel installed. In the shop I have Normandy 2 offered for $9.99 with a remark underneath «You already have a serial number for this product». When I load it in the cart and go to checkout, same: Indeed, when I check all my licences I see a serial # beside Normandy 2.0 Map. I copied that numer to the Check licence form, but I turn round. With latest DCS update 2.8.4.39313 I only find the module as available in the shop. But then again the warning that I already have it. BTW, I checked in ME, there is the old map of Normand 1. How do I activate my serial?
Phil_A Posted April 23, 2023 Posted April 23, 2023 (edited) I ignored that checkout warning and bought it. It was $9.99 ( I also have original Normandy and the Channel). With the latest DCS open beta updates, the new Normandy map is already downloaded but it needs to be activated with a purchase. I see a "DCS:Normandy 2.0" license and the "DCS: Normandy 2.0 Map" license is listed twice (so a total of 3 licenses listed for Normandy 2.0). I had no issues with the new map being activated but I did not buy it through Steam. ------------------------------------------------- Maybe this explains the reason for two Normandy 2.0 Map licenses.... AFAIK the old Normandy 1944 map has been replaced with version "1.5", owners of the old version get improved detailing/textures for the original area, while Normandy 2.0 "upgrade" unlocks the better modelling/textures for London, Paris, additional airfields, etc. Edited April 23, 2023 by Phil_A More info
J-1775 Posted April 23, 2023 Author Posted April 23, 2023 Thanks for the quick answer. As I was prepared to pay $9.99 I may indeed go for the 'just ignore it' advice. The warning msg was just somewhat intriguing. BTW, are you a WWII backer, too, or is that error not tied to that?
Phil_A Posted April 24, 2023 Posted April 24, 2023 I am not in the WWII backer program and it seems the warning is commonly seen. More info on the purchase warning that can be ignored. https://forum.dcs.world/topic/324396-somewhat-confused-eshop/#comment-5202807 https://forum.dcs.world/topic/324476-already-have-license/#comment-5203481 https://forum.dcs.world/topic/324305-you-already-have-a-license-for-this-product-normandie-map-2-update/#comment-5202594
