3.1 Locking Mechanisms

Unlike standard @myaddon folders, exclusives were often installed directly into the AddOns directory and activated via one of three methods: ARMA: Armed Assault Addons Exclusive Immersion & utility

  1. BIKEY Digital Signature – Addons signed with a unique exclusive.bikey. Game client would only load them if the corresponding public key existed in Keys\. Without it, the addon was silently ignored.
  2. Registry Token – During installation, the installer wrote a DWORD value (e.g., HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA\Exclusive=1). The engine checked this at startup.
  3. Serial Number Range – Certain addons only decrypted if the CD key fell within a pre-specified block (e.g., 5000–6000). This was reverse-engineered by modders in 2009.

2.2 Promotional & Media Exclusives

BI collaborated with military branches and hardware vendors to produce showcase addons.
