A: The currently available English online (download) 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.
Also note that the English download version does not install any StarForce optical disk drivers, as it does not rely on DVD checks.
The boxed version will be protected only with online activation (StarForce ProActive). There won\'t be a way to launch it via disk check.
