SkateZilla Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 you know, if you run A-10C 1.1.1.1 separately from world, you should still be able to de-activate from there right?. <root>/program files/Eagle Dynamics/DCS A-10C/protect.exe. no garauntee's it works, I clicked on it after uninstalling DCSW and it told me I had to Activate first.

BigfootMSR Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 why o why can I not find this path in my A10 c folder?? What version are you looking at? You have to go through the DCS World folder. Then follow the folder path as mentioned above. I just checked and it works fine.

cheap charlie Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 (edited) holding down shift in multi player brings it up Im currently 1.1.7 and will update to A-10C Warthog, 1.2.1 Edited October 2, 2012 by cheap charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigfootMSR Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Thats one way to do it, but it does not deactivate all of the modules you may have. 1.1.0.7 is a very old version. Make sure that you download dcs world 1.2.1. Do not pay any attention to what is listed on the patch page. It does not apply to this new update. Use this link to get the proper version for world. http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/index.php?ProductId=21&end_pos=137&scr=product&lang=en The modules are located here http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/index.php?end_pos=136&scr=products&lang=en [url=http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/index.php?ProductId=21&end_pos=137&scr=product&lang=en][/url] DCS: A10C Warthog JTAC coordinate entry training mission http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/99424/ DCS: Blackshark 2 interactive training missions http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=84612 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadTommy Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Being a bit slow this morning and not sure of the on screen directions. Navigate to your DCS World/Mods/aircrafts/A-10C/bin/x86_64 (or x86) folder and open. Find the a10_protect file and double-click. Gives me the below popup. Then i receive the below popup. Am i deactivated at this point or do i need to click Next? Which i would have thought would activate it again. A pop up saying 'deactivation successful' would be really helpful. :idiot: i5-3570K @ 4.5 Ghz, Asus P8Z77-V, 8 GB DDR3, 1.5GB GTX 480 (EVGA, superclocked), SSD, 2 x 1680x1050, x-fi extreme music.

doveman Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I've got several boot partitions on my machine, two Win7 and one XP, whilst DCS is installed on a separate Games partition that is shared between all three boot partitions. I activated DCS on all three whilst I was trying to diagnose some problems but now I'd like to deactivate it on the two I'm not using. I've also just uninstalled 1.2.0 and installed 1.2.1 on the one I am using, which is now asking me to reactivate but that's another problem. What I want to know is if I can use the 1.2.1 ka50_protect.exe to deactivate in the other systems (by booting to them first obviously), i.e does the activation get stored in the C: partition or the registry or is it stored somewhere in the DCS folder?

GAJ52 Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I haven't found a clear description of this procedure yet, only this "Navigate to your DCS World/Mods/aircrafts/A-10C/bin/x86_64 (or x86) folder and open. Find the a10_protect file and double-click. Deactivate by following the prompts/instructions" Do I need to deactivate both the A-10 AND DCS World. I have successfully deactivated the A-10 module by using the above guide to find a10_protect, but when I found the dcs_protect there was not an option to activate or deactivate just 'Register Event Log' Glen GAJ52 Intel i7-7700K @ 4.60GHz | 32 GB Ram | Win 10 Pro 64 | GTX 1080i 11.00MB | Saitek X52 Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
