QVidal Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 Hi, I have a problem when activating BS2 update with last version of DCS World. Searching in the forums I did not find any related post to this problem. After deleting old DCS World 1.2.0, with working A10 and BS2, to update to newer DCS World (downloaded November 11th) I tried to run the simulator and the activation dialogue popped up. I successfully activated A10 (no activation wasted) and failed to activate BS2 update due to hardware code. Then I run the registry cleaner file from ED forums and started DCS World again. A10 was succesfully activated (which cost me an activation) and failed to activate BS2 update, the message is "The system requires the correct Serial Number of the application to perform this operation. The Serial Number entered is wrong or mistyped. Enter a valid Serial Number and try again." I am unable to activate it and it seems that the activation dialogue is not working properly because if I click on "other", "deactivate" or "I already have an Activation Key" the behaviour is the same as if I click "Next", so I am unable to enter the serial number in an alternative way. I made sure I downloaded the correct version of the BS2 update file and I have the BS1 installed and activated (Steam version).
QVidal Posted November 13, 2012 Author Posted November 13, 2012 Problem solved. I reinstalled the KA-50 update module with a newer installer that seems to have been released yesterday KA-50_bs1update_en_1.2.2.7122_23.exe In order to be able to install it I first deleted the folder Ka-50 in DCS World/Mods/Aircrafts Then I downgraded DCS World to 7122 executing dcs_updater.exe update :1.2.2.7122 in DCS World/bin Installed the KA50 module Activated KA50 running ka50_protect.exe from DCS World/Mods/Aircrafts/Ka-50/bin Hope it helps to anyone with the same problem

Even un-installing everything and doing a fresh new install did not solve the activation problem. Stand alone everything works fine with A10 and BS2 - only integration within DCS World of BS2 has that strange activation issues ... and only with the new 1.2.2.7122_19 version ... with 1.2.0.63205 I never had that problems. Maybe there is something left in the system that will not be updated correct or un-installed and causes the trouble ... will have a look for that mentioned registry cleaning tool... Thanks so far Regards Michael Edit: tried that registry fix (http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/delete_all_activation_data.reg) and that did it now - but I lost 2 more activations for A10 and BS2 :( - I think DCS should change their registration system soon because it causes unnecessary trouble for their paying custumers.
