    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

2nd PC install. Licenses

Hi
Difficult to find info in MSFS sites. Now that I spend a lot of time in secondary home decided to buy a second pc and install MSFS. So I looked for info about versions content (own Premium de Luxe but really don´t need airliners) only found this in "Toms Guide) and not able to find if I will need to buy another license or just log in into my Microsoft account on 2nd pc. Found something about creating a family, others about log into account, others about license transfer. Nothing plainly clear. Bought my version on MS Store.
Need help please.Thanks
 
You can just log into your Microsoft account that you used to purchase the game and redownload it via the Microsoft store. All of your settings, logbook etc should carry over as well as they are tied to your Microsoft account.
 
Hi, thanks. That´s great. Bought a 3070, now intend to build a new machine based on my old 1080 this will bee good to spare some €...
 
You can probably get a concrete answer over at the official forum. I have read that if two people share a 'puter with different accounts, then both need to buy a license or one needs to be logged in as the other. I don't think I've read anything about one person using the same license on multiple rigs.
 
So long as you are not trying to use the game on the same account on both computers at the same time, I am 100% certain you can download and install Flight Simulator (or anyone game on the Microsoft Store, as well as Xbox) to multiple devices. If you try to launch the game on a second device while you are logged in on another device, it will ask you if you want to sign out on one of the devices. The game is bound to your Microsoft account, not the device you are using. This has been the case since Windows 10 launched.
