December 25, 20187 yr I have been using SFX Deluxe Edition for many years, first on Windows XP and then on Windows 7. I know there are issues with directx12 and SFX but when my PC started to get sluggish, I thought I would try upgrading to Windows 10. After a lot of experimenting I did get it to run as a trial on Win10, which only ran for 30 mins but it would not register, saying that 'the activation server could not be reached'. I tried about 6 or 7 times. As FSX is the only 'game' that I play and a lot at that, I decided to revert back to Win7, (I was not too impressed with Win10 anyway).I now have a totally fresh install of Win 7 but I still get the same activation error!My FSX Deluxe Edition is from before Steam took it over but if I go to the home page it says: 'Steam Edition' If you were connected to the Internet right now, this page would be replaced with online content from fsxinsider.com. There you can find the latest news and add-ons for Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Steam Edition.'I have an HP Pavillion Desktop pc. The graphics card is built in and not powerful enough to run the trial X plane but was running SFX very nicely.Any advice would be gratefully received.
December 26, 20187 yr MicroSoft no longer maintains online activation for FSX. You might be able to call the 1-800 phone number and get an activation code. Considering the low cost of FSX:Steam Edition and how it was slightly improved and recompiled, I recommend completely removing any boxed versions of FSX and all remnants of it from the registry and performing a clean install of FSX:Steam Edition.
