flightquarters Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Heu Guys! Opened FSX this morning and out of nowhere, i was asked to activate now or later. Has this happened to anyone here? I have had FSX on my computer since 2010, i no longer have the product key. Why is this happening and, how can i get it to stop?:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Have you tried right-clicking and choose "Run as Administrator" to see if that helps? Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightquarters Posted May 15, 2021 Author Share Posted May 15, 2021 Yes i have and nothing keeps the sim from asking to be activated now or later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Are you in a 30 minute demo mode or is everything normal except for the activation issue? Acceleration installed? Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flightquarters Posted May 18, 2021 Author Share Posted May 18, 2021 Yes I'm in a 30 min demo mode and, no acceleration is not installed. Tried to fly today and ran out of time, the sim asked for a product key which comes back as wrong key. I no longer have the original key that i purchased FSX with years ago so, i guess my sim is offically gone. Need to get new copy of FSX and acceleration, however i no longer trust amazon or e-bay. Any ideas where i can get those two sims? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Any ideas where i can get those two sims? Your only real option these days is Steam. FSX Steam Edition is largely the same as FSX Deluxe plus Acceleration. It has a few minor bug fixes and a replacement for the Gamespy multiplayer, but lacks the complete SDK.

I believe Steam will be having a sale at the end of the month, so maybe catch it on sale.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petter1 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I have a legit, boxed copy of FSX that I'm trying to install on Windows 10. When I run the sim it asks me to enter my product key, I enter the key from the label on the inside of the DVD case but it comes back with an invalid key error. Are the activation servers still up for this? I've already tried running as admin and XP SP3 compatibility mode, nothing works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
