Benbow Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 I have the cd version of Lock On and Flaming Cliffs v1. They worked fine in XP but now in windows 7 after upgrading starforce drivers it is asking for the following: Hardware serial number and activation code. The starforce program appears to generate a hardware code each time I run it but no activation code. How do you get an activation code for the cd version of the product that never had one?
EtherealN Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 Which CD version? There were several. (Lock On Gold, FC Addon etcetera) As far as I know they are supposed to work through disc-check, but I'll ask someone to take a look.

Benbow Posted June 19, 2011 Author Posted June 19, 2011 I have Lock On v1.0 on a disk and Flaming Cliffs 1.1 on another disk. Starforce used disk check in Windows XP. After upgrading to Windows 7, the program would not load stating starforce driver incompatibility issues. I upgraded the starforce driver but now I have to produce a product serial number and activation code to start the program. Do I have to buy Flaming Cliffs 2 just to get my software activated?

159th_Viper Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 Disc version of Flaming Cliffs 1 surely won't work in Seven. It does :) Uninstall and reboot. Manually delete all registry entries pertaining to FC1 and reboot. Install with Admin privileged as follows: 1: Install Lock On (If under Vista/win7 install outside of program files directory ie; "C:\Games\Ubisoft\Eagle Dynamics\Lock On\") 2: Install Flaming Cliffs. 3: Install the correct Flaming cliffs 1.12 patch for your version CD. 4: Install the latest Starforce Driver update (SFUpdate) - for driver see following post: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=687357&postcount=5 5: Reboot Should work.

Benbow Posted June 19, 2011 Author Posted June 19, 2011 I uninstalled and reinstalled Flaming Cliffs. I patched Flaming Cliffs and updated the starforce driver. Each time I try to run Flaming Cliffs the starforce activation windows pops up. Starforce generates a different product code each time I run it but will also say invalid code when I press the activate button. Why am I going through this with software that I have bought and paid for? Do I need to purchase Flaming Cliffs 2 just to get an activation so that Lock On and Flaming Cliffs will work?

159th_Viper Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 People often mix up disc and download distributions. While download can launch on some systems in Seven, disc does not. I have the disc (LockOn Gold) and got it working as above. Novice or Veteran looking for an alternative MP career? Click me to commence your Journey of Pillage and Plunder!

Benbow Posted June 24, 2011 Author Posted June 24, 2011 I don't have the Gold version, I have the original Lock On and Flaming Cliffs 1 on disk. I tried all the steps above and Windows 7 is giving a "starforce" compatability error. I upgraded the starforce driver then the program asks for an activation code.
pacotito Posted July 2, 2011 Posted July 2, 2011 (edited) I also got the disc version to work. I had one extra step after uninstall which was run starforce remover tool. Then reinstall lock on v 1.0. Patch to 1.02. Install fc and patch to 1.12. Run lockon as admin and install starforce driver when prompted and restart.run starforce update as admin. Should work after that It shouldn't ask for a code it should just check the cd Edited July 2, 2011 by pacotito Pacotito I7-5820k@4.5 Z99 extreme4 16gb ddr4 520gb ssd. Gigabyte ssc GTX960 SSC 4gb
