from the install directory.

(run Protect.exe and chose to activate/deactivate and follow prompts) then when you reinstall you can reuse same activation key.

 

 

Before changing hardware, deactivate your current installation of BS or you will loose the activation.

 

 

HOW IT WORKS

 

Q: What form of copy protection does the product utilize?

 

A: The English release of DCS: Black Shark utilizes StarForce copy protection technology. The product requires online or phone activation. If StarForce detects changes to your computer hardware/software as described below, an activation will be required. The English version includes 8 (eight) activations and 10 (ten) deactivations. It's important to note that deactivations are utilized to save your activations when altering your PC hardware/software. Before conducting a PC upgrade/OS re-install, you can deactivate the product and when complete, reactivate without a loss of activations.

 

An activation will be required if the hardware/software changes exceed 12 points as rated below:

 

CPU ID: 13

Windows PID: 3

Computer Name: 3

Hard drive volume serial number: 3

MAC address: 6

RAM amount: 6

 

If you just uninstall Black Shark and then reinstall it again on the same PC without reinstalling your operating system or changing hardware, you do not need to use a deactivation.

 

For further details on the copy protection system, please see the StarForce FAQ:

In addition, a step-by-step (de)activation guide is available below and will also be included in the product documentation:

StarForce provides an option for manual online activation. For those using the Russian version of the release, a quick guide for manual activation can be found here:

We are evaluating the possibility of providing an additional version of the western release, utilizing Steam technologies.
