SODE keeps deregistering

[swissa340 1]

Hi

I've done a complete reinstall of my PC and P3D. Now if I want to start GSX and connect the jetways I get the message "SODE is unavailable jetways will not animate." When I check the SODE platform manager it says that SODE isn't registered. I closed the sim, activated SODE then restarted P3D v5 and nope still same message. When I go back to the platform manager it says that the sim isn't registered. I have no idea what to do. Any ideas?

Try running it as admin.  Sounds like a registry entry or config file isn't being updated, usually due to permissions issues.

I'm running everything as admin. I now tried adding an anti-virus exclusion for all SODE folders. Still get the same issue. SODE doesn't even appear in the menu bar.

Then I'd try uninstalling SODE, rebooting, then re-installing (as admin) with the virus checker temporarily disabled.

Ok, so did that. Disabled the virus checker and UAC and reinstalled SODE but still same issue.

Time, then, to generate a simconnect log file, and to otherwise peruse the SODE support forum for clues.  https://sode.12bpilot.ch/

I had the same SODE-issue in P3Dv4. I was 100% sure that I had Prepar3d permanently running as administrator, but apparently not. So I had to rightclick Prepar3d.exe and choose Properties - Compatibility - and tick the administrator box. After that SODE is working again.
