Guys, I would suggest retrying a number of times - it appears there is some form of DDOS going on again. Apologies for the inconvenience.
This was submitted by Armen L Cholakian about an hour ago. If it is a new DDoS going on, the server is going to be choked up. PMDG can hardly be blamed for that.

There were two threads and now one... but I'm simply adding myself back to this list of people who cannot activate. Order #164051 Oh, just read the reply about the possibility of another ddos attack.

Same problem here in Australia ..... its really dissapointing that i stayed up to 3:30 in the morning here to download their "Awsome" 737 only for it to F*&K me over on start up. Here is a suggestion to the monkey running this place get off your &@($* and "DO SOMETHING" .... im sick and tired off companies like you'll taking our money and then screwing us over ..... Shame on you PMDG
B**** B**** B****. C'mon, they just spent a few years of their lives making this for you. Show some appreciation. Yesterday was no doubt a very long day for them, I would not be surprised if they were sleeping at the moment (they're humans too, remember?) They will deal with it when they can, which, knowing PMDG, will be soon... If you're not satisfied, why not get off YOUR &@($* and go make a better NG. rolleyes.gif

Oh do shut up. This isn't an issue with being able to download or buy, we've paid and got the plane on our machines and we should be able to use it. Anti-piracy software that prevents legitimate users from using what they paid for isn't acceptable.

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

Even though I dont have a copy of the NGX yet, I would like to see someone from PMDG say a few words on the situation here. I dont like to see people angry. Its not about the activation problem anymore its the lack of communication, i think =/

A simple reply in this thread would at least show they are even listening. Last night they gave several updates when we couldn't purchase it but the ones who have now purchased it aren't getting replys. (btw I am already all set, not bragging. Just waiting for a friends to get activated so we can fly)

Cheers!

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