    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.

Active Sky question

I'm contemplating installing ActiveSky for my FSX installation, and note the write-up for the utility says it contains a license for use on one computer only - no problem with that. My question is, will AS operate on multiple installations of FSX on one computer? This is not addressed in the product description. Has anyone heard of this possibility?
 
Since you could not be running multiple instances of FSX at the same time, I believe there is nothing wrong with doing it.

Can you do it is another question. It might only but like the main install of FSX but I don't know that for certain.
 
My thoughts exactly. Under this setup there is no way the program could determine it has clones since only one FSX iteration at a time can be running.

The only complication that could arise is when the program is installed in, usually, the "C" drive and its "master" folder and the files therein somehow sense there are duplications of the .exe file elsewhere. On the other hand, the language in the write-up specifically stated "one computer at a time." I'm wondering if the program has never been set up to detect multiple installations on the same machine.
