Kegel Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I just installed Windows 8 after completely wiping my previous Windows 7 install. I just realized I never deactivated my WIndows 7 DCS install. Im currently downloading DCS World to begin the reinstall process. Am I going to run into a problem with the activation?

CaptHawk Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I don't think a OS upgrade will effect it. You'll have to enter your product/activation keys, that's it. Will it run on Win 8?:joystick: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] AMP WIZARD "Forest Gumble" "When the air becomes electric....It's like a box of chocolates":captain: Windows 11 Pro 64 bit | Intel Alder Lake i7 12700KF | Asus Prime Z690M Plus D4 | CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 64GB (2 x 32GB) DDR4 3200 | EVGA GTX 1070 SC @1594MHz/4000 MHz 8GB | 1x42" Multi Touch Screen and 1x27" 4k widescreen | Saitek x52 Pro | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cichlidfan Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Am I going to run into a problem with the activation? Not unless you have used them all. By not deactivating you will lose an activation since (obviously) your registry has been wiped.

Wayc00lio Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Man, I've lost so many activations with hardware problems causing reinstalls over time. I wonder, will I get activations back if I email DCS?

cichlidfan Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Man, I've lost so many activations with hardware problems causing reinstalls over time. I wonder, will I get activations back if I email DCS? From the A-10 FAQ (does not apply to BS1) change 8 to 10 activations and this is correct. Your DCS A-10C serial number is initially set to 8 activations and when they all are spent, 1 activation is added automatically once, after 31 days.
