If I format and reinstall everything, I will obviously need to reinsall the NGX. Is there any steps that I should take BEFORE I format? Is there a way to deactivate the NGX to "free up" my activated serial? Or should I just go ahead with the format and reinstall? Thanks for all your support PMDG!

At least in my experience, if you use the same computer, you can activate as many times as you want as long as you hardware doesn't change dramatically. I don't think there's any way that you can deactivate the plane. You get (I think) 3 activations, and after that you have to send a support ticket asking for more. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that activations "regenerate" over time, like they do with the DCS A-10 and other products (where you would get, say, 1 new activation a month, and only have to submit a ticket after that).

just go ahead with what you are willing to do. ;)

Im looking at installing it two different computers cause I live in two houses, is this possible or do I have to mess around with something. Any advice would be apprechiated, love the plane and really dont want to 'break' it Cheers

Same here... Can it be installed on 2 computers (e.g a desktop and a lapop) wih the same license ?Thanks

As long as you are not using it simultaneously on the desktop and laptop (ie 2 people), that is fine.There is no way to deactivate an install - if you're reinstalling on the same PC it should let it through fine.

Ok thank you Tabs for your quick answer. Greg

I am currently awaiting the arrival of a complete new build pc for fsx/ngx but i find that i too am anixous to try out the ngx. Can i order the ngx now, install it on the "old pc" (still a proper amd955be btw) and than when the new pc arrives (should be arriving in one week) clean wipe the hd of the old one (it will be sold so i will thouroughly run killdisk on it ) , and without problems run a new install on the new pc, or should i forgot about all this and just wait?

i know everyone from PMDG is busy on collecting issues and solving tickets and all users are off course flying the NGX but could someone from PMDG please find a moment to answer this question? Fred Koch

Fred, You shouldn't have any issues doing that. Just don't go installing it on a ton computers or anything.
