jankov65 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 (edited) Hi I´m a little lost, even after reading this thread and some others regarding the installation of a BS2 upgrade from BS1. I´d appreciate some hints on how to proceed. I bought BS1 standalone (spanish) back when it was available, as my computer wasn´t capable of running DCS World nor BS2. I installed it with no problems. I then bought the upgrade to BS2 in one of those holiday sales from ED but didn´t install it as i still had the same limited computer. Recently that computer died and i got a replacement, installed Win7 64bit and downloaded DCS World 1.2 in order to use the BS2 upgrade i got. Of course i didn´t deactivate anything as the HD from the old computer got fried. I see that things have changed a bit (the License Manager) since then and i´m not sure how to proceed. Do i have to install BS1 prior to attempting to use the BS2 Upgrade? I see the license shows as being active in my account details but i guess i cannot deactivate it as my former HD is off. Will this count as installed/active so i can go ahead with the upgrade? Thanks for any input Edited December 29, 2015 by jankov65 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwrmx24 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 (edited) I went to the stand-alone version instead of steam. Module manager is working for us allowing the person who owns the keys to fly their module on whatever computer they want in the house by just deselecting the modules they don't have/want.

AMEDooley Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 So I pre ordered NTTR when you get one free red flag campaign. And I bought the F-15C campaign. But when I go to get my serial number for the A-10C campaign it tells me it's not available. Did I do something wrong when I bought the F-15C campaign?

NeilWillis Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 It'll be a couple of days before the A-10C Red Flag keys are distributed. You just have to be patient for a while I am afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rlsjudex Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Awaiting Serial Number I am a total newbie, but have searched the forums and contacted customer support regarding my purchase of the A-10C Red Flag bundle. I've received e-mails that (1) my order was completed, and (2) my order was paid both on Friday, February 5. The second e-mail also stated I would receive an e-mail with a serial number. I contacted support yesterday and have had no joy. The responses have been links to FAQs and to check the Module Manager which does not have the serial number. How are serial numbers transmitted? What is the usual wait time? Thanks in advance for any clarification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the usual wait time? Thanks in advance for any clarification. First you should check your account on http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com Upper right LOGIN use the same credentials you use in DCS / Multiplayer. After login you have "My Profile" available. On the right you should see all your ED store purchases. Search for the Red Flag Campaign and click on Details. That should bring up the activation Key... If there is no entry for the campaign in the purchases list, you need to wait/contact support to sort it out! I had my A-10C Red Flag Campaign processed and showing up in the store so in general the keys should be in the database after purchase... Oh, you did the purchase with the same account you use to login to DCS World, right? That is important, to bind the Key to the correct account.

rlsjudex Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Partial Joy Through the use of the Module Manager, I have been able to obtain a serial number that activates the A-10C module. However, I still can obtain no information to activate either the Red Flag Campaign or the Nevada terrain. Becoming more and more frustrated. rlsjudex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shagrat Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Did you look up your profile on http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com? Do you have the Nevada and RedFlag purchase showing up there? If yes, go to details and check the keys. You can manually activate Nevada and Red Flag if necessary with these keys.

rlsjudex Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Success After repeated efforts, I was finally able to obtain the licenses through the E-store and clicking on the MORE button for items I had purchased. Shagrat, thanks for your assistance. rlsjudex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmorrow Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 So, we can't bind our serial numbers to new accounts anymore, at least I can't. Is there a way that I may consolidate all of my DCS Add-ons on to one account, now? Right now, in order for me to play with the Spitfire, I have to deactivate all of my other modules, activate the Spitfire, restart DCS and log into a new profile. I would like to have all my stuff on one account to avoid this. Thanks for your consideration of my question! :) [sIGPIC]http://i688.photobucket.com/albums/vv250/mjmorrow76/SPAD%20of%20a%20new%20generation_zpshcbftpce.png[/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decibel dB Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I when trough the is tidious process and it make you loose you modules. The problem with that system is that if you give YOUR key you will have to buy a new module for you and re install it. That of course if you want to give a module you don't like that fine. But not if you love your module and want to purchase a few to fly with friend. I think a simple buy for a friend option will easier my 2 cent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKA_Clutter Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 A lot of water has gone under the bridge since I first asked the question about buying a module and giving it to a friend. I have 3 copies of BS2 and want to give one to a friend. Is that still possible with the procedure outlined on pages 1 & 2? Thought I saw somewhere where you could no longer do that. Is that true? Is there anyway to give a friend a spare copy?
