Ripcord Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 I had purchased A-10C way back during the Beta days. Got all the old setup files and patch files and all that. Then DCS world came out and I added CA and BS2 and Lockon3 and all that. Everything seemed to be fine. Now I have a new computer. Totally new registry, everything. I got back into my account at DCS and I don't see A-10C. I see Combined Arms, BS2 and all that, but no A-10C. Wondering now what to do. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Ripcord Posted October 12, 2013 Author Posted October 12, 2013 I did save all my Users\NAME\Saved Games\DCS Warthog folders. If I copy all that over, will it help? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Ripcord Posted October 12, 2013 Author Posted October 12, 2013 I would open a ticket but the last time I did that it took 4 months to get a response. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
AtaliaA1 Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 I would open a ticket but the last time I did that it took 4 months to get a response. Just Download and install the 1.2.6 ver and use your key from old copy. not a problem This was a Boutique Builder iBuypower rig.

Ripcord Posted October 12, 2013 Author Posted October 12, 2013 That's my problem -- I don't have my key for my A10C, since I had it so long (since Beta came out). And I cannot locate it on my order history page. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
ENO Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 Is your old computer still "alive?" You can go in that registry and get your old key (if you are saying you no longer have it ) "ENO" Type in anger and you will make the greatest post you will ever regret. "Sweetest's" Military Aviation Art
Ripcord Posted October 12, 2013 Author Posted October 12, 2013 No longer alive. Using my old c: drive as a paperweight. I did, however, copy the entire contents of my whole c: drive over onto safe place as a backup. User files, document folders, Windows and everything. But really do not if the registry files were copied along with it, and if so, where to find them. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Ripcord Posted October 12, 2013 Author Posted October 12, 2013 The oldest of the 4 orders that does show up in my account is CA, which I ordered in July 2012. I had A-10C beta waaaaaay before that. So I am wondering if they did something with their website or accounts or something since moving to the DCS World format. I think I read something about them merging accounts or something to that effect, but didn't get what it was they were merging. Hopefully somebody there is keeping records of the Beta customer sales history. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
ENO Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 When in your saved windows directory from the old system go into system32 then in config/ then into software. The entry will be down in dcs or eagle dynamics- all of your keys should be in there. "ENO" Type in anger and you will make the greatest post you will ever regret. "Sweetest's" Military Aviation Art
Ripcord Posted October 12, 2013 Author Posted October 12, 2013 Oh damn, I was wrong, I did not copy over my old windows folder. Geez. Thanks anyway Eno. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Ripcord Posted October 12, 2013 Author Posted October 12, 2013 Anyway, in this thread, I see that there was some merging that took place. This guy has the same issue. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=68146 Except I am unable to log in under Username1. However when I request a password reset for my email address, I get two auto-generated emails, one for my current username that I am using and another one, my first & last name put together. Except I am unable to log in to that other account, it automatically sends me to my current log-in. Maybe something was merged? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
ENO Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 I know the UCID format changed last year but I'm not sure if the reg keys did too... who did you purhcase the beta from? Steam? I'm not sure if it was even on Steam that far back... 1 "ENO" Type in anger and you will make the greatest post you will ever regret. "Sweetest's" Military Aviation Art
Ripcord Posted October 12, 2013 Author Posted October 12, 2013 I found a thread somewhere in which EtherealN suggested to somebody that they should visit this link. http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/myserials.php I did that and sure enough it showed up. Gotta think that this will be happening to a lot of other folks, particularly those that bought the beta a couple years back - probably should be a sticky. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Ripcord Posted October 12, 2013 Author Posted October 12, 2013 ENO thanks for your help, in any case. Appreciate it. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
