The disk box should contain a label with the product key. For me FSX consists of two (DVD) disks and Acceleration is one (DVD) disk.

Cheers,

Still using FSX/Acceleration. Originally FSX could only be loaded onto one machine and if you bought a new one you had to buy a fresh copy. What happens now if you want to load it up on another/a new machine? Now you can't buy it can you load old copies?

PS - OK so I should swap to Steam or P3D!!

Why? Unless you have one of the very rare, old add-ons which only works with the boxed version, you're much better off using FSX:SE.

The activation key inside the DVD box is your ticket to the FSXMS rollercoaster. No ticket, no ride.

One thing to consider.
You will need to uninstall the steam version before installing the disk version or they will interfere with each other.
You can then re-install the steam version after as it will detect the disk version and make changes so it wont interfere with it.

Or you can setup FSX SE to play off line. You need to do this within the Steam program.

One set of FSX Deluxe disks is the same as another set, only the licence codes in the cases will vary. It doesn't/shouldn't matter if disk 2 comes from one set and disk 1 from another, just use one of your valid licence codes for Deluxe when activating FSX. Same goes for Acceleration. I had Gold on my old machine and recently installed it on my new rig and it didn't even murmur.

There was a hiccup activating Acceleration, but that's been answered in a thread here last year and also at FlightSim.

learned with irma one can have no power..also learned one can recover power...having power does not give auto internet...as for instance fsx steam needs the net,,,but a disk install does not..other than for the live weather,one can fly...my question was is there anyway to install without the codes of which i have..problem with three sets of disks? Confusing to get a matched set yes into fsx steam big time i also use fs9, no problem thanx all
