Black Shark / BS2 Activation

[F22-Raptor]

Hi guys,

I purchased DCS Black Shark pretty much the day it came out many years ago however I seem to have run out of activation already :\ I know previously I have had a few issues with deactivating etc. so I have lost licenses.

 

Today I purchased Black Shark 2 (the upgrade version) not realising you need to install Black Shark 1 first and upgrade over (I think anyone who purchased Black Shark 1 should get the full version of Black Shark 2 for the upgrade price, makes it much easier).

 

So basically both games are useless to me now, it's a shame considering I always support DCS (purchased ALL the products) yet I'm trapped in DRM hell. No doubt I'll be using Steam in the future.

 

Can I please get some more activations enabled on my key?

Thanks

Well, the purchase page does state in big red letters that "The "DCS: Black Shark 2" upgrade requires "DCS: Black Shark". :)

 

Anyway, see this sticky for how to enter a support ticket: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=58801

I know but I thought you just had to own the game and that the key would work with the upgraded patch or the full version.

 

Thanks just raised a ticket.

BTW, the Steam versions of DCS also have Starforce DRM. There is no way of getting away from it, no matter what version you purchase.

InsaniD, A-10C on steam uses the same system as the version directly from TFC/ED and discs, due to Steam DRM not being available for 64-bit. BS1 does not use it on Steam, AFAIK.
