Our providers had stressed tested for a theoretical limit that was 7x higher than what we saw with our 737 release, but this number was higher. That caused a few thousand orders to get "batched" into holding while the system triaged itself to keep running. Once beyond the peak, the system stopped falling behind, but at it's worst there were 6,000 orders in holding for processing. That number has been halved in the 2hrs since release, and at the current rate of processing we anticipate all batched orders will be processed in the next 90-120 minutes. I don't understand why we need an activation key from an E-mail. Why can't they just add it directly to your account like nearly every other Flight Sim storefront out there?

I think I see where my problem was, I turned off ad blocker, but not Chrome pop up blocker. When I did that, it finally went through.
June 26, 20241 yr 16 minutes ago, Bobsk8 said: I finally got the email with the download link after almost an hour, but it is useless ,because they require two factor authentication, which isn't working. I am surprised they don't ask for a DNA sample, before they OK the download. Looks like tomorrow morning, before I get to download it , if I am lucky. If you have a pop-up blocker enabled in your default web browser the 2-factor authentication won’t work. I set PMDG.com as “safe” for pop-ups in Edge back when I first purchased the 737 and it just now worked fine for the 777. The two-factor authentication is nothing new for PMDG - they have using it for all their MSFS products for the last two years.

June 26, 20241 yr Their systems on such big releases suck and there's absolutely no excuse for it.

June 26, 20241 yr Have you check your browser's pop up blocker? I happened to me a few times after the 2FA, it blocked the pop up download. After did a trusted link, all was good and the whole process took me about 30mins from email, to getting the 2FA and downloading. Thanks! 1 hour ago, speil said: I have atteptded to download my purchase completed 3 hours ago. It took over and hour to receive a verification e-mail. After that arrived I have requested at least 15 times a two-factor authentication code without any result. Perhaps, Mr. Redanso ought to get off his high horse and address the demand. Stephen A. Peil
June 26, 20241 yr Wow. Time to chill out. Complain that its "taking too long" to release. It's released and their servers are overwhelmed with probably thousands of requests/downloads.

June 26, 20241 yr Wow, not the first time something going on sale managed to cause issues, many times with companies with infrastructure far bigger than PMDG's, even more with those far smaller... People really need to chill out. G Gary Davies aka "Gazzareth" Simming since 747 on the Acorn Electron

Why can't they just add it directly to your account like nearly every other Flight Sim storefront out there? It’s an anti-piracy measure. A way of insuring that you (or at least the email address you use) is legitimate. Two factor authentication is very common in business. I work in a corporate flight department and virtually every vendor site we work with for things like downloading nav databases and charts, or aircraft maintenance publications requires some form of two-factor authentication - sometimes via email, but more often using a dedicated app like Microsoft Authenticator or Duo Mobile. It’s just a fact of life in the year 2024. Jim BarrettLicensed Airframe & Powerplant Mechanic, Avionics, Electrical & Air Data Systems Specialist.
