7 is the highest they'll go, I think, and they'll make a big fuss about how they listened to the community and how they're protecting their assets and how the 7 days is the bestest, most awesomest timeframe ever.
I think 30 would be better, 90 would be great, and I would give ED serious credit if they decide on 6 months.... but my bet is we'll end up with 7 days.

I hope they update the DRM as fast as other fixes to game.
I say 7 because they started with 3 and there's no way they do 30 or 90.

I think he is right ... why? Because TFC (See EULA page) are based in the UK and have to follow uk law when selling digital items . .and if they change to this new system they might be breaking the law and opening themselves up for people claiming refunds on all ED purchases that use this new system, could you imagine what what happen to them if everyone reported them to UK trading standards and ask for refunds ? Maybe everyone who doesn't want this new system logs into https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com site and raises a support ticket asking about getting refunds for all ED products they own

Ok,I'll ask.What's wrong with the DRM they have now? I've never had an issue with it except where I've forgotten to de-activate a module before uninstalling DCS (which I have done many,many times in the past).

Nothing at all it works great in my opinion ...... but its costs ED money per key ...... they are trying to save a buck and screw us at the same time

From our perspective, nothing. From their perspective, I suspect two things: 1) They have to pay for StarForce keys, and my understanding is that they are not exactly cheap - but don't quote me on that 2) They may have noticed a lot of SP sessions with a whole lot of different IPs ... while you couldn't run multiple sessions concurrently, all someone has to do is block access to the activation server after activating once, and they now have a perfectly working game, they can receive updates for it etc. In other words, they may have noticed a lot of practical piracy - but this is a pure guess on my part.

Not an IT guy so this might sound silly to the ones that are. Don't most residential ISP services have dynamic IP addresses that change often? Would that not lead to a false positive that so many "Different" IP addresses are seen?
