I've recently had to rebuild my Win7 after a nasty bug attacked and trashed it and thought it would be a good idea to buy the Gold Edition rather than mess around with my Deluxe (add the SP's and SDK's then add FSXA and SDK's) and couldn't find a copy for love nor money.. out of stock everywhere!!
I ended up doing it the hard way with Deluxe/FSXA and having activated it.. then proceeded to mess around with the permissions on C: (I was trying to get some addon scenery to load without having to reinstall by using a saved scenery.cfg). Changing the permissions made no effect at all.. I was putting the scenery.cfg in the wrong place!!!
So.. having installed Win7 again this morning to get the C: permissions back to normal.. I now have to install and activate FSX/ACC all over again but this time.. with phone activation
The moral of this story.. NEVER, EVER change the permissions on C: drive.
