Master Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 I went to install BS2 (upgrade) into DCS World and when I go to log in it gives me the error "Invalid Serial Number" and then refuses to let me log into. I own P-51 through ED webpage, a10 and bs1 through steam and then BS2 was a gift from a friend. It registered the cd key just fine and said I still have 10 unlocks but then it invalidates when I go to log in for MP.
EtherealN Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 The BS2 that was gifted to you as a friend, has this been unlinked from his account yet? http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=91898 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Daniel "EtherealN" Agorander | Даниэль "эфирныйн" Агорандер Intel i7 2600K @ 4.4GHz, ASUS Sabertooth P67, 8GB Corsair Vengeance @ 1600MHz, ASUS GTX 560Ti DirectCU II 1GB, Samsung 830series 512GB SSD, Corsair AX850w, two BENQ screens and TM HOTAS Warthog DCS: A-10C Warthog FAQ | DCS: P-51D FAQ | Remember to read the Forum Rules | | | Life of a Game Tester
Master Posted March 31, 2013 Author Posted March 31, 2013 http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/faq/?wiki_name=Multiplayer During purchase on DCS website serial number is bound to the account on which one makes the purchase. Ok, so I need to buy the upgrade myself then... so how do I unlink that serial key from my account since it is not listed on the serial key page. http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/myserials.php
EtherealN Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 Sir, that page is where unlinks are done. You press the "unbind" button. Status here is that your purchases through ED page is: P-51D Through Steam: A-10C (BS1 is irrelevant since it is not in World) And your friend purchased BS2 Upgrade for you. This means that BS2 upgrade is on HIS account, he must unlink it through that page. Also, he must discontinue any use of this license on his own computer (this is not detected by MP server though). Similarly, if you are using an account other than the one you purchased P-51 on when connecting to the MP server, the same error will occur. If you previously used another account for your A-10C, that key will be linked to that account (since Steam purchases are not auto-linked) and can be unlinked through logging in on the website with that one. To be clear, you have the following products: P-51D A-10C Ka-50 Upgrade Which one of these does NOT show up when you log into the website and look at http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/myserials.php [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Daniel "EtherealN" Agorander | Даниэль "эфирныйн" Агорандер Intel i7 2600K @ 4.4GHz, ASUS Sabertooth P67, 8GB Corsair Vengeance @ 1600MHz, ASUS GTX 560Ti DirectCU II 1GB, Samsung 830series 512GB SSD, Corsair AX850w, two BENQ screens and TM HOTAS Warthog DCS: A-10C Warthog FAQ | DCS: P-51D FAQ | Remember to read the Forum Rules | | | Life of a Game Tester
Master Posted March 31, 2013 Author Posted March 31, 2013 Ok, used Shift+start MP to deactivate it. Im going to just buy another key and see if that fixes it. It was the BS2 upgarde that did not show up. I deactivated it and was able to get into MP so BS2U was the problem. Im going to just buy another key instead of trying to contact him and having to wait to play... lol. Thank you for the help guys.
