ritcheyl Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 My computer finally crashed and I had to buy a new one. I did back up all my files at least. When I installed FSX on the new (windows 10) machine it didn't give me the option to register the software. I can't find a solution online anywhere. Anyone out there have any suggestions?

PhrogPhlyer Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 My SWAG is that since this is not supported by MS there is no registration. I never registered my FSX and have no issues. Always Aviate, then Navigate, then Communicate. And never be low on Fuel, Altitude, Airspeed, or Ideas.

ritcheyl Posted July 10, 2023 Author Share Posted July 10, 2023 FSX works, but only in demo mode and shuts down after about 15 minutes? SnoopyAce77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhrogPhlyer Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Which version of FSX are you installing? Gold edition, Acceleration SP1, SP2, Steam, etc? Always Aviate, then Navigate, then Communicate.

ritcheyl Posted July 10, 2023 Author Share Posted July 10, 2023 I installed the original 2 disk deluxe set and I installed SP1 and SP2. It never asked for the product code after installation like it originally did many years ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ritcheyl Posted July 10, 2023 Author Share Posted July 10, 2023 I found a YouTube video that has the fix I think will work. I'll let you know and thanks for your replies. SnoopyAce77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ritcheyl Posted July 10, 2023 Author Share Posted July 10, 2023 The YouTube video fix worked perfectly. Thanks again for replying to my post. I hope this helps some other simmers who are having the same problem. SnoopyAce77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
