so far but do not attempt to activate on any US numbers. I would appreciate any and all help, thank you I had a wild struggle to install it in the first place due to various problems ranging from missing DLLs to erraneous installshield installations. I have been looking for a fix for days now, which has yielded no result at all. We're sorry an unexpected error occured which is preventing product activation from being completed. Now, whwenever i launch it, i get an error message: I activated it, and installed the Accelaration expansion pack. Originally posted by Shadow Saint:I own the boxed edition, and i recently reinstalled it on my new pc.

But then with acceleration installed, The activation is deemed invalid for some reason. Ouch, that sucks, I'm not based in the US and it does in fact activate my game. Otherwise, its the exact same software and the added benefit is that if it ever gets corrupted it's easily fixable/re-obtainable through Steam any time.

I'm not sorry because the fixes included and the G1000 cockpits added to the Cessna, Mooney and Baron 58 in the Steam Edition are great. Myself, I didn't know about Erazers info back then and I just broke down and bought it again from Steam. I feel ripped off because they have my $ and I have useless CD's. They were hard core about it, they flat refused me, in person on the phone. I got into a big fight with them years ago over their refusal (policy) to activate mine after a hard drive crash caused me to need to re-install.

I suspect he will see this and perhaps reply with the info you need. I feel ripped off because they have my $ and I have useless CD's.Įrazer (another ambassador here on steam) says you can still activate it outside of the US but I can't confirm that.ĭo a search on this forum with keywords 'FSX Activation' and perhaps his post that gives the number to call (or a link) outside of the US will come up.

In the U.S., Microsoft will NOT activate a boxed version anymore.
