Hi,

 

I recently changed my motherboard and had to reinstall Windows 7, but when I tried to activate FSX again I got:

 

"You have exceeded the number of times you can activate this product with the key used."

 

Is there anyway I can get it activated? I tried doing it by phone but it didnt work

Sorry, if you can't reach MS through the phone you'll need to buy FSX again.

 

Welcome to the wonderful world of DRM. Futile piracy protection that only hurts paying customers.

You did something wrong then the phone activation will work if you input the data correctly.

Use the automatic system and all will be well. Do not purchase another copy of FSX and do not try and talk to the live support folks. The FSX activation system works just fine.
