Please help me about my FSX.

Hello,
I have a problem on Flight Simulator X. I've installed SP1 and FSX Product Key required. But when I buy, there is not a sticker to find Product key. I want to ask of your Product Key so I can play with SP1. Thank you.
Evan.

No one's going to give you there product key for starters! If you're not a troller and have a genuine copy then take it back to where you bought it or contact Microsoft with the receipt details and where you bought it. I find it hard to believe that Microsoft would omit the serial key as these are checked very carefully before packing! Sorry to sound blunt but we often get Trollers scamming for other peoples' keys!

Did you look on the inside of the plastic case which holds the install CD's?

Mine is a yellow sticker at the top of the case just above the mechanism which holds the CDs in place.

And to repeat the other poster, no one will share their product key.

I'm confused, how do product keys work?
Does the word 'key' refer to the string of numbers and letters on the label?
Surely the string only works with our own personal disk which we bought at the shop?

Yes for the first one, NO for the second one. The product keys are generated by a mathmatical algorithm that produces sets of keys that validate against a coresponding algorithm inside FSX. All the discs are identical!

FOJ,
So when you go to activate your FSX how is it determined that you have a legit copy? Is it just the key plus your system specs 'checksum' that is registered? So I could have 3 different PCs running FSX and have all 3 'activated' sucessfully? I have a key. Hummm.

The key is good for one install on one computer at a time. The key and which system it is activated on at the moment is what is tracked, not your disks.
