Hi,

 

I've had a few activation issues in the past, but I don't believe this one...

 

Have you seen http://forum.avsim.net/topic/388239-fsx-activation-woes/ ? If this doesn't help, why not try a quick forum search - assuming you haven't done that already.

 

Experience reminds me that another big problem with activation is trying to run FSX in any kind of compatibility mode. I'm not at all aware of what W8 supports, but I'd try to keep it 'vanilla'.

 

 

If you have any further detailed info about specific errors you are getting, posting it can only help.

 

 

I hope there was something useful there; best of luck!

nope still having the same trouble
