Windows 10: Activation FSX

Cannot reactivate FSX even after calling Microsoft no more support offered tried to reinstall on a new build PC

:)

 

Not active fsx

In my April 24th reply, I had asked you if you were able to take a flight in spite of having the Activation error come up? So could you attempt any flight to make sure that you have installed FSX properly? And try to fly for more than 30 minutes (you can
use time compression if you are short of time).

If your FSX runs properly, I can give you a possible suggestion for the Activation error. But if FSX doesn't run, then you need to go through certain steps before you can do a re-install of it.

 

FSX re-install activation.

I have a brand new Windows 10 installation on a new SSD. When I re-installed FSX from my original FSX disc I was asked for the product code. I entered it and was asked to choose activate online now or later. I chose ' activate now ' . When started
FSX I got error 'activation fail' number 1-80004005.

Now I got the message 'your 30 minute trial has expired'! What can I do? I have my original FSX and Acceleration disks yet am unable to activate the program. I am not happy. Any suggestions please?

 

FSX Acceleration Activation

I had same problem with FSX Accel pack. FSX Gold base pack activated successfully two different times.

Per above list I tried ...

1) Regedit: value already was set to partmgr - no change

2) FSX Service pack 2 was not found in list of programs, i.e., apps.

3) went to KB site mentioned and attempted to download the SW license reset tool at: http://download.microsoft.com/download/1/c/d/1cd508f9-7520-4659-a122-a26e8804e884/MSKB928080.exe.

Apparently either that file does not exist or is empty. I tried downloading using both MS Edge and Google Chrome and got same results. Also tried by disabling AV and firewall, still got nothing.
