Authorization failed after updating to 2.9

[O_Edge]

Hi... I updated to DCS 2.9 (I'm a steam user). After the update I get the Code 403. All my DLCs are deactivated or disabled. As far as I can say my Steam account is not binded to the DCS account. Any idea?

Try typing 403 in the search function and you'll get lots of answers to fix your problem.

Seems its a binding issue between your steam & stand alone DCS.

but the OP clearly said that "As far as I can say my Steam account is not binded to the DCS account."

Apologies, I see that now.

I had just sorted my 403 error out, by finding that thread.

Further on says the following:

I don't know if this is the "only me" scenario, but this morning I too got the 403 error when accessing DCS via Steam (FYI - this is the ONLY way I play DCS - via Steam). 

However, I never did bind my licensing to DCS standalone.  I have verified this be accessing my DCS account profile, and it is showing as unbound.

What happens now please?

you should contact support directly if you get the 403 error and if steam is not bound to stand alone.

In fairness, there are a number of people in that and other 403 threads who said they didn't have it bound but then came back and reported it was bound and that was their problem.

Hey guys, thank you so much for your comments. Indeed I found out, that the accounts were in fact bound, which was a surprise to me since I can't remember I did it. I never use the DCS account, so I might have done it a few years ago and just don't remember.

So "rob10" I'm one of them ... sorry for that. Anyway... thanks again for your help!!!!

Thanks for reporting back.  Your report may convince someone else to double check and save them a bunch of grief.  I've done things that I'd have said there was no way I had done, so I totally get it .
