Question about internet connection and DCS Sims

[mono27 84]

Hello everybody! 

 

I am interested in start with DCS World. But before start I have a question:

I have 2 computers, one without internet connection at home (where I usually fly my SF2 series), and another one with internet connection at my workplace (where I usually downoad the mods for my SF2 and IL-2).

 

My question is...can I purchase Flaming Cliffs 3 in my computer with internet and then copy it to my home computer (without internet) and use it there??

I like to fly offline, so I don't mind if I cannot use multiplayer option. But I read at DCS site that every download requires an internet connecion.

And this is the reason why I ask before download, I wouldn't like to spend the money and later have a sim that I cannot use because the connection.

 

Well, thanks for any reply!

You can, if I recall correctly, use the alternate activation means to activate the product. I am not certain if this would suffice in your case. You may want to email ED tech support and make sure this is feasible. I hope for your sake it is. FC3 is very nice!

Yes, it works!! I asked at ED forums and they gave me the solution. It was easy.  

I purchased it from my computer with internet connection, then installed it in the other computer. They provide me the serial number, so the only thing I have to do was:

After installing it...

- I wrote the serial key that ED gave me and the hardware number that I got after installation at the website that they told me for activation.

- I get the activation key.

- Then I wrote this activation key in my computer at home.

- And that's all!! Activation was succeful and it works fine.

 

Thanks for the help, I was so happy so I also purchased the UH-1H module before the Chrismas offer expired  ;-)
