    Anybody Have this happen reinstalling FSX ?

    I reinstalled FSX on my new computer tonight. Everything went fine until I tried to activate it. Got a message that says I have activated the product to many times and have to activate it by phone. Has anybody ever gotten this before is it legit or what ? I got a good product code hell its in the original box, I paid for it. I ain't no thief.

    Call Microsoft, they will reset it for you, no charge.

    In your FSX folder is a text file, Phone Activation.xml.

    Use it to access the correct number, if you just call the regular Microsoft support you will not get any help.

    The system you need is automated and in the USA call...

    1-866-740-1256

    Yes happens occasionally. No problem call the number above and it is all handled by automatic responses they will issue you a new serial no all done through the touch tone. I understand that MS wipe the database periodically (I heard 6 monthly) and this is why users can sometimes reinstall many times over extended periods without issue.
    Given the age of FSX I'm amazed they even bother any more.
