graemeh Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Hi All, Yesterday I purchased DCS A-10 in the E-Shop, and although I received a transaction ID, there was no serial number supplied. I've seen the forum thread on where to find the serial number, but it's not there - not on Order History, not on the download page and not on the confirmation email. I opened a support ticked 12 hours ago but haven't heard anything yet. It's really frustrating - my new computer arrived yesterday (the old one had no chance of playing A10) and I already had the A10 installer downloaded and ready to go so I wouldn't have to wait for a steam download! I've spent all the time waiting for my new pc watching the tutorials on YouTube and working out HOTAS mappings, so I wanted to get straight in and flying! Any suggestions on how to get the serial number? --Graeme

(A corrupt cookie may cause your serial number to not be displayed on the download page). 2) Using a different browser.

graemeh Posted February 22, 2012 Author Posted February 22, 2012 Thanks for your reply, I've tried IE and Chrome on two different machines, and cleared cookies on both.
graemeh Posted February 22, 2012 Author Posted February 22, 2012 Still no sign of a serial number on the DCS site. Would it be better to recover the payment through PayPal and purchase on Steam instead?
EtherealN Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Graemeh, no, Steam version uses the same system (due to no 64-bit support in Steam DRM).

graemeh Posted February 22, 2012 Author Posted February 22, 2012 Ah, OK. Is steam having the same problem issuing serial numbers then?
EtherealN Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 I don't know, I don't have access to that type of stuff, but if keys simply aren't being issued I'd suspect it's a fault somewhere serverside at SF, which would affect all sales channels (AFAIK), You could send a message by PM to destby or Tez to inquire (normally I'd contact them directly myself to ask, but I am currently in a hotel and don't have my normal lines of communication available). Please include a brief description of the problem including the steps you have already tried, and your ticket number. Tez: http://forums.eagle.ru/member.php?u=8984 Destby: http://forums.eagle.ru/member.php?u=86223 They can check if there is a larger problem afoot and/or hopefully solve the issue for you.

graemeh Posted February 22, 2012 Author Posted February 22, 2012 Thanks for your help, I've PM'd Tez.
Tez Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 The issue is solved now. We are sorry for it. Serial number should appear on the page with your orders details.

graemeh Posted February 22, 2012 Author Posted February 22, 2012 Hi Tez, Many thanks for getting this fixed for me. I've got the serial number now and will be activating shortly. Best Regards, --Graeme
