Starforce changed the activation login server when they released their newer product.
For UCG and UCAWA, use the 1.0 activation site
For UCSE, use the 2.0 activation site
NOTE: This is for versions purchased through BMT Micro or Digital River and only for the titles above. UCSE was the last title to use Starforce. Also, we do not - and never have - used their much maligned disc based protection scheme.

We no longer use Starforce for the protection of our games.
This means that all previous products sold through Digital River & BMT Micro will no longer have patch updates. Not that they need it anyway; so this is just an FYI.
The versions below are the last versions to use Starforce. All recent versions do not use it.
Universal Combat Gold v1.00.03
Universal Combat A World Apart v1.00.20
Universal Combat Special Edition v1.00.03.01
Universal Combat Collector's Edition v1.00.04.01
So if you do apply a more recent update (if available), you will invalidate your pre-existing Starforce DRM key. In which case you would need a new DRM key from the current DRM being used. In order to obtain a new DRM key for the newer patches, send the following information to support@3000ad.com.
We need your copy of your email receipt showing the product purchase. Without this, you will not get a new key. NO EXCEPTIONS
When you get the new key, simply run the game again and enter the name and key as provided.

- Full name
- Email receipt showing your original purchase and previous DRM key
- The harware serial code displayed when you run the new patch. That code is in the format XXXX-XXXX
