    Let \(D_1,D_2\) be coprime positive integers, and let \(h\) denote the class number of the quadratic field \(\mathbb{Q} (\sqrt{-D_1D_2})\). In this paper, using a deep theorem concerning the existence of primitive divisors of Lucas and Lehmer numbers, the authors completely determine all solutions \((x,y,n)\) of the generalized Ramanujan-Nagell equations with the type \(D_1x^2+ D_2= \lambda^2y^n\), \(x,y,n\in \mathbb{N}\), \(y>1\), \(n>2\), \(\gcd(D_1x,D_2y)= \gcd(n,h)= 1\), \(\lambda\in \{1,2\}\).
