    I am facing the issue that multiple server instances on the same host are loosing the key after a short time, even when the ServerUnlock.bin is present. It works for some time and then invalidates. Unlock file is still present, but not used anymore.

    Remarks:
    1. The servers are running for testing purposes on the same system rFactor 2 itself is used onto.
    2. It does not matter on which user the server runs, it's using the key for a time and then the key is lost
    3. Following folders might have a newer timestamp than ServerUnlock.bin (as they are recreated/ cleaned by a script):
      • UserData/Replays
      • UserData/Log/CBash
      • UserData/Log/Results
      • UserData/Log/shaders
      • Packages (including children)
      • appcache
      • steamapps
      • UserData/player/Settings
    For example, a server with a mod including paid content, installed 8 days ago:

    Thank you.

    Is Steam running in the background? It should not, I mean.
    On our servers (VR) the DLC packages can't be used, if Steam is running in the background.

    If steam has exited, the keys remain invalidated
