Hello,Will FSX request that the CD stays in the reader?

Doesn't with the beta. Unsure if it will in the final release.

>Hello,>Will FSX request that the CD stays in the reader?I have heard that No, you won't need the disk. There will be either online or telephone activation, very similiar to when using other Microsoft products IE: installation of XP etc.However not heard this clarified by Microsoft, so it may be pie in the sky pardon the pun!http://www.astraboy.com/

You're right - no DVD needed in the drive. There is a post somewhere from the MS team comfirming that it won't be needed.Doug

Question is with everyone talking about upgrading and all is will it be hard to install on your current system then use the same software of FSX to put on your new system without having to jump thru a whole bunch of loops?

If it's like other MS products, you just reactivate again. If it won't let you do it online, you call and get another code that way.Hope this helps,--Tom GibsonCal Classic Propliner Page: http://www.calclassic.comFreeflight Design Shop: http://www.freeflightdesign.comDrop by! ___x_x_(")_x_x___

That is going to make it costly for those of us who run a number of computers at different times. (I always seem to have one or two in pieces while I am trying different "upgrades" and it is useful to be able to compare FS performance on the different machines).I only want to run FS on one machine at any one time, but I don't want to have to buy a copy for each machine.We already have to buy a new copy of XP Home when we change a motherboard with the latest XP activation restrictions, although that's another issue.Have I understood the FSX restrictions correctly?--Bryn
