Harzach Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 (edited) So I just dropped a new CPU and SSD into my gaming box and took the opportunity to purchase DCS:CA and upgrade to 1.2. I think I may have loused something up, however, as I am getting an error message when loading a mission that my Warthog key is now invalid due to "significant hardware changes". I mailed the error report to support, but I am wondering if there is anything I can do in the meantime, while I wait for a response. Thanks! Edited July 15, 2012 by Harzach
EtherealN Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 If you can include your support ticket number, that might help - I can check it. However, CPU change will cause a new activation to be required. Thus, you should activate again (see quickstart document for activation instructions). Generally, I'd expect you could run protect.exe for the relevant module and remove the activation - I'm looking into this.

Harzach Posted July 14, 2012 Author Posted July 14, 2012 I get essentially the same error when trying to deactivate - it won't allow it because the key is invalid. No ticket, as I just sent the report to support@eagle dot ru as per the instructions in the error message. Should I submit a formal ticket as well? Don't want to cross any more wires.
EtherealN Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 Formal tickets are always better than e-mail, since e-mails are harder to track.

EtherealN Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 Cheers. Due to current workload on the support lines, you may have to wait until monday. Apologies for the inconvenience. I'll see if I can come up with something in the meantime.

Harzach Posted July 14, 2012 Author Posted July 14, 2012 No worries, I'll just get acquainted with the CA module. Thanks for the help!
159th_Viper Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 Clear your registry, ie delete the relevant Eagle Dynamics entry containing your Warthog serial.

Harzach Posted July 14, 2012 Author Posted July 14, 2012 Delete the entire Warthog entry/folder in the registry?
Harzach Posted July 15, 2012 Author Posted July 15, 2012 All set. Deleted the Warthog entry in the registry and activation proceeded with no problem. Thanks for the help!
