    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.

How to Activiate FSX disk version?

Hi all,

I don't know if anyone on here can help but I'm at my whits end and really don't want to switch to FSX: steam I've just tried installing FSX disk version on my laptop and can't seem to activate it I've tried to activate online and over the telephone over the automated system but it wont recognize my installation ID Have the servers been shut down (and my disks are now glorified coasters) or is there a fix for this?
It is a genuine copy which has been installed on my old Rig (RIP) so I know it did used to work. please can someone help.

Many Thanks

Justin
 
Any chance you may be using an o for a 0 or l for 1 or vice versa?

fair comment Zippy, but It was entered over a phone keypad so there is no real way of that kind of error occurring but i ran it twice and double checked figure by figure and the entered code was correct. thanks for the quick reply
 
If you've had FSX-SE installed previously (even as a trial) the disc version is a PITA.
Other than that I have no idea.
