Ticket #16360

[w0bbl3r]

I put in this ticket almost a week ago, and the automated response said I would receive a reply in a couple of days, but still nothing.

 

I have recently installed some new hardware, namely a CPU and GPU. Now I reinstall BS2 upgrade version, along with DCS world, and it says that my key is no longer valid because of hardware changes.

 

I need to sort this, as I can't play BS2 anymore, and I find it ridiculous that it is throwing such a fit over an upgraded system.

 

I mean, I read somewhere that these keys should last "for years", but does that mean we can't upgrade our systems in that time?

 

Maybe I could have deactivated the key, but since my system died, I couldn't use it until I had installed the new hardware, and now it won't LET ME deactivate, because it says there has been "significant hardware changes" made, meaning the serial is invalid, and can neither be activated OR deactivated because it basically no longer works in any capacity.

 

Someone help me, please.

Delete your registry entries pertaining to the serial#, run the SIM and activate. That should work.

Hi.

 

Unfortunately, due to some issues, there is a backlog in the support queue. Please accept our apologies for this.

 

I believe your problem is probably fixed through running this registry file: http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/delete_all_activation_data.reg

 

(Note that if you are using Internet Explorer, it might get autorenamed to .mp3. In this case, rename it back to .reg.)

 

EDIT: Sniped. The linked reg file does what Viper suggested.
