Michael Emrys Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I just bought the Battle Pack and got the activation code okay, but where do I plug it in? Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 You should have an activate shortcut. Launch that and it will prompt you for your code. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been able to find one yet. I seem to have forgotten how to evoke that. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOS:96B2P Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Go to the folder where you installed the game. You should have an activate new products shortcut. Hit that and apply the license key you have from BF for the battle pack. Should come back and note it was successful and when you launch the game you should see a second icon that looks like an explosion on Blue and Yellow UKR background. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael IIRC you are a Mac guy so the below is probably somewhat different on your machine. On my Windows 10 PC the Activate New Products shortcut is in the following location: Local Disk C Program Files x86 Battlefront CMBS Activate New Product If the above is to different to help we may need another Mac user. @Bud Backer might be able to assist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 He might also have to create one. It isn’t particularly difficult but I don’t know MAC commands so someone else will have to explain it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud Backer Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 If I haven’t replied to this by Saturday send me a message. I can’t look at this at the moment, sorry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted October 1, 2018 Author Share Posted October 1, 2018 Nobody seems interested in taking this on, so I'll give it a bump. I would open a ticket at the Help Desk, but I don't want to distract anybody at BFC from getting SF2 out. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I was hoping a MAC user would take this on, but barring that what you can do is create an activate shortcut. Copy your regular shortcut to somewhere else then edit it. This is my CMBS shortcut "H:\Battlefront\Combat Mission Black Sea\CM Black Sea.exe" This is my activation shortcut "H:\Battlefront\Combat Mission Black Sea\CM Black Sea.exe" -showui 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 (edited) Something that often messes people up making an exe shortcut into an activation shortcut, the added ending should be .exe" wordspace -showui You need to insert that wordspace before the hyphen.

Michael Emrys Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 Unfortunately, this being a Mac, the shortcut is different. I know I created them before, and in trying to sort this problem out I can get as far as opening Terminal, but when I try to insert anything I get the notice that I am not authorized to do that. I think I need someone at BFC to give me the proper steps. It's just that I hate to bother them right now. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
