November 17, 201213 yr A few days ago I switched to Windows 7 from XP and therefore I had to reinstall FSX. When I entered the activation key it got rejected.A message said that I reinstalled FSX to often which surprised me as I was under the impression I could install it as often as I want. It is true that I reinstalled it quite often since I had computer problems, viruses etc which forced me to format and reinstall. Can anybody tell me what the situation is ? Thank you Hubert Werni Herbert Werni
November 17, 201213 yr Some versions have problems. I've installed mine ca 100 times with no problems. Simmerhead - Making the virtual skies unsafe since 1987!
November 17, 201213 yr According to Microsoft, as often as you want - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927007. You will have to call them though.

November 18, 201213 yr My understanding is you could install as often as you want, but only activate it twice (activating meaning hardware has changed "too much" for a simple reinstall). But I know many people have called MS and gotten additional activations. scott s. .
