ERROR: Unable to connect the activation server

I just got up less than a half hour ago guys - all of us were awake for more than 2 days straight and had to sleep. I really do understand the frustration and I'm looking into what's going on with the activations right now. You have to understand though that we can't work perpetually as zombies on no sleep and that not everyone at PMDG is equipped or supposed to do support.

Fellow pilots, There's no doubt that It is annoying for all of us... but I'm pretty sure that the guys at PMDG are even more annoyed than we are. I bet that they've spent day and night in the office in the past few days and have taken lots of precautions to ensure availability of the product. And then a few mad people trash the whole party with their DoS attacks. And now they are probably giving their best to fix it.We all will forget our disappointment once the bird is in the air. We should encourage the guys instead of shouting at them. Just my 2 cents. Dirk

Very true words. I've been trying for 4 hours with no succes. For know I'm just waiting and checking this topic until the PMDG crew announces in what time they think the problem will be solved. Even if it will take 12 hours or more, I'ts fine by me. Give the crew some time to solve the problems.

Understood and thanks, Ryan, for looking into this.

...restart the service on the server, Ryan. (Flex Net Publisher Service or something like that).

I guess my above suggestion will fix it...
