emenance Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I have built a new PC and should have come here first and read about this Recover a lost serial number Serial number is stored on your Windows installation. In your DCS installation there is bin\stable\ folder with a file called "protect.exe". It is also used to decativate/activate your copy. It can get your serial number for you. Click activate/decativate and it will show you. You don't have to complete the process to see it. Alternatively you can get it directly in Windows registry with regedit: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Eagle Dynamics\Flaming Cliffs 2.0 EN HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Eagle Dynamics\Black Shark HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Eagle Dynamics\BlackShark HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Eagle Dynamics\Warthog There should be Keys subkey and LicenseX keys in it. You'll find your serial numbers in string Number there. The last used serial number is stored in Keys in LastNumber variable. I do have an image of my old OS but I am unable to see through the garbage of the software file and find my key. Yes I did not write it down anywhere because the DCS website shows these keys. I believe I am a victim of the site merge of the Lock on site so I am asking for help to show my old key and activations. I had many left. The Website does show my BS2 upgrade and A10c puchases. So I just need my BS1 serial number so I can activate. thanks Asus P8Z68-V GEN3/ 2500k 4.4ghz / Corsair 64gb SSD Cache / Corsair 8g 1600 ddr3 / 2 x 320gb RE3 Raid 0 /Corsair 950w/ Zotac 560TI AMP 1gb / Zalman GS1200 case /G940/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case, assuming your login is "emanance", login using account name "emanance1".

EtherealN Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Did you actually stay logged in when looking in the download location? There is a cookie bug that can cause issues for some users. The solution is to clear out all cookies in your browser and then log in.

EtherealN Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 My only guess would be if you had previously used a different account. If that's not it, please enter a support ticket.
