Difference between a Serial Number and Activation Key?

[Snacko]

I am wondering what is the difference between a Serial Number and Activation Key? :helpsmilie:

 

Some of these screens are confusing.. It would be helpful if these screens explained what these things are a little better?

This is explained in the quickstart guide: Start > All Programs > Eagle Dynamics > DCS World > Documentation

 

Basically, a serial number is the serial number you use for registration. This is used along with a hardware code (identifying your compunter) towards getting an activation code.

 

When doing normal activation, you don't have to care, it is all done automatically. It is only relevant if you require offline activation.
