Choose DCS BS 2 1.2.0 or DCS BS 2 Upgrade 1.2.0 ?

Thanks for the reply. I tried the above and no joy. My direct deposit hits at midnight. Looks like I'll be supporting the developers more than I had originally planned. ;)

I installed the BS module in DCSW and tried both my BS1 SN and my BS2 upgrade SN

DCSW will only accept the BS2 upgrade key.

 

The basic procedure is:

1) Install BS1 (1.0, no patches) and activate using BS1 key

2) Install DCSW 1.2.0

 

--- steps above can be performed in any order ---

 

3) Install DCSW 1.2.0 BS2 upgrade module (KA-50_bsupd_1.2.0.63205.exe - there is another file for the BS2 full license) and activate using BS2 upgrade key

Save your money for the next modules ;)

Follow what aldega stated and if that doesn't work, contact ED. They have always been really receptive and fast in dealing with issues I have had.

 

Only buy the full version if you simply don't want to deal with the upgrade dance. <- no harm in that.

Can you uninstall BS1 still, like the old BS2 upgrade?

[ALDEGA]

Yes, after activating your BS2 upgrade key.

No Luck here

 

I have tried everything listed so far with the exception of purchasing BS2 standalone. DCSW refuses to activate BS2 Upgrade, just returns the invalid serial number. So for me either I don't use DCSW or I just no longer use Black Shark. It's a shame that it wasn't stipulated that the upgrade version of BS2 may not work in DCSW.

It's easy to say that I just should have bought the standalone version of BS2, but when one is on a fixed income the extra $20 becomes an issue.

That being said, I have no problem running A-10 in DCSW and I've owned it almost as long as BS1.

So I'm hoping ED will figure a way to issue an activation code which will work, or perhaps offer a credit towards the purchase of the standalone version.

At this point I tired of dealing with the problem

I had to rename my dcs:world folder to DCS WORLD 120 and then it worked

Nope, no luck

 

I have uninstalled, reinstalled, deleted, deactivated and done everything short of a complete reformat and fresh install of W7. I have wasted a few activations of my other modules and the end result remains, DCSW simply will not accept my BS2 upgrade serial number. Which is copied and pasted directly from my email receipt from ED a mere 3 weeks ago. I have a support ticket into to ED for several days now and no response.

Apparently I will be forced to purchase the full version of BS2 in order to play it in DCSW!

Not to happy at this point.

You should not deactivate any licenses when uninstalling/reinstalling.

[EtherealN]

Make sure you are not copy-pasting in the transaction number - this is a common mistake. You can find your serial number on the website if you want to double-check.

Problem solved

 

My bad...I didn't realize there are two versions of BS2 for DCSW.

I was trying to use the standalone instead of the upgrade!

 

All's well now.
