Installing XP11 without needing the DVD

[737_800 434]

Hi,

is it possible to install xplane without needing the dvd? So I know that I can install a second copy of it. Could I install that on a USB Stick and if my main installation on C drive gets corrupt just use the usb stick as an installer?

You can install or copy as many X-Plane installations as you want. So you can install it on your PC, then copy that whole installation onto a different path or drive or even USB stick... You can actually run those installations as well.

A lot of people have several installations (one vanilla, one with mods, and so on).

To run any X-Plane installation you need to either have the DVD in your drive or have an online key - X-Plane will not check the key everytime you run it, but once in a while.

Cheers, Jan

What about creating a ISO of the DVD, would I still need to insert it for verification?

I am not sure how elaborate the DRM on the DVD is, but I would assume that it works.
