FSX can no longer be activated by phone

[Rawsthorne]

My simming is all done offline - no Steam - Old School with a disc. recently I had to reinstall FSX all on a new pc after the old one broke but forgot that - now unsupported - there would be no-one there at the other end of that phone line to activate it

I'd spent a fortune on addons for this, including a shed load of photoreal scenery - and now it all seems to be useless. I've tried GOG with no luck - can this thing ever be activated without an internet connection?

You obviously have an internet connection to post here, any reason as to not using it to activate FSX? Microsoft stopped supporting FSX ten years ago.. Gotta move with the times.

I'm using a laptop for this forum - the gaming pc is in another place & can't be connected. As for moving with the times, our connection is so lousy I couldn't game online anyways even if I wanted to, which I don't. Without the phone activation I need another way; thanks for replying anyway, Robin

I'll PM you with a possible solution..

Without the phone activation

Very strange I reinstalled FSX into new laptops to replace inactive nd retired laptops over years (one FSX per active laptop) and it never asked me for phone activation. Activation is done by accepting correct serial key code.

Don't you have serial key code?

Yes I do, but of course this has to be done online using the computer on which you've installed the sim!

Thanks, mate - you should find a PM from me when you come on. We'll see how it goes
