The Steam version of ActiveSky Next for FSX-SE has been neutered to prevent it being used across network.

Just another Steam requirement and one more reason to buy elseware

Am I correct in thinking that as well as having reduced features in some cases, a steam store purchased add-on will only work in FSX:SE?

This explains the reduced price found in many cases as often add-on come with triple (quad even now I guess) installers.

Some steam DLC I have bought in the past though has included serial numbers for the product, is this sometimes the case with FSX:SE steam store add-on purchases so I can install them also in P3D?

I find the lack of information confusing, not because it doesn't clearly explain what you do get, but precisely because it doesn't explain the difference between the steam store version and EVERY other version of a given product.

Thanks for answering my question.

My advise: do not buy ANYTHING for FSX in the Steam Store. Period.

depends  on what addon  you buy, least  you can get  a refund  with in 40  days
