February 22, 20215 yr Hi, I have recently bought a genuine but previously used "FSX Gold & Accel" three disc pack complete with all leaflets, manuals and both authentication codes. Both FSX discs install perfectly but when I try to activate the FSX program on line I get the message that there is a problem connecting to the activation centre. I need to activate the FSX program before I can go on to install the Accel' disc. I have been trying to activate for over a week now. My question is has Microsoft closed the FSX activation centre ? Any/all help will be hugely appreciated. Thank you, Chris.
February 22, 20215 yr Administrators As far as I know and/or heard, the FSX servers are no longer online. In you Main FSX folder there is a Phone Activation .xml with phone numbers to call for activation. Not with live people, but with robot voice asking for activation info. I just tried the United States toll-free number and it is still working!

I built a new system back on the first of August and was unable to activate either. I then purchased FSX SE. Very inexpensive. I believe $20. Needed it badly. Very disappointed in MSFS 2020 other than low level scenery gwacking. 🙂 Yes, gwacking! Combination of gawking over it and and quacking about it.
