Does anyone know if they are out of business? I am trying to re-install a product and have entered my product codes several times but keep getting a message saying it is impossible to reach their server for verification.

I'm not sure about Wilco. This is what really annoys me about online activations though. If a developer or vendor goes under, the installers are rendered useless. When FSStore went under I lost a whole heap of airports as they used FSStore's Wrapper activation system, and a few developers refuse to provide a solution. Then there are other developers who put limited activations on their products, and then decide to require a reactivation there is any sort of minor update made to the simulator, even a point update. Sometimes they just seem to require an reactivation if you haven't used the aircraft for a while.

I can guarantee the pirates aren't having so much difficulty getting their sceneries and aircraft to work.
 
Wilco's website is still on-line: https://www.wilcopub.com/

I note however that on their Facebook page, the latest message was August 21, 2019 and the first reply voiced the same issue you have encountered:
i bought the tbm today but the install is ALWAYS failing due it cannot connect to the registration server.. firewall and antivirus was turned off.. tried windows 10 64-Bit, Windows 10 32 Bit and Windows 7 64 Bit.... both versions /fsx/p3d) installers failing....

Update: Got a notification from Wilco that they are aware the server is down and are working on it. I ran the installer again yesterday and came up with an error "2". Geez, thank for the help and info. My item is an upgrade and I have the older version already in the sim. I feel for folks buying stuff and trying to install first time. It's robbery.
