I bought the J41 on the 4th when it was released installed and activated the product.Tonight I load up FSX and it asks for the activation code again.I put in the code and it says now I have a un-licensed product and most of the fetures will not work.My question is what the is going one here with this aircraft?What do I have to do for this to work?

Yeah. I'm having the same issue. Bummer. Copy protection only hurts paying customers. The guys who pirate this addon don't have to screw around with this stuff.What a drag.

I just figured out this occurred because I disabled the licensing service.

Cmon, the new system is FAR easier than the old one was. Just paste a single key in and you're good - you don't even have to do it again if you reinstall. 99.9% of the activation problems we've seen are stuff like this where people have essential services disabled because they read some snake-oil tweak guide.

Snake oil tweak guide? Not exactly. The J41 depends on a 3rd party service that cannot be disabled. That's extra wasted resources that could be used by FSX. I haven't tested if this service can be shut down after the aircraft is loaded, but it's still a real pain that pirates most likely will not have to deal with.As I've said, the only ones who suffer from this kind of copy protection are paying customers.
