server FSX ( FSINSIDER.COM)

When you said that you tried to install FSX on Windows 7, did the install go through and you were able to launch FSX?  Or did you have problems here?   I'm assuming that you either had a dual boot situation on your computer, or you used another computer with Win7.

For your Windows 10 installation, you could try the general fix for Activation problems, but it could be that FSX is still recognizing your activation in Windows 7 as well.   But you could try this on your Win10 machine anyway.   Follow these details I've given, but be careful when amending System Registry values as putting a wrong entry or using the wrong key could create more problems for you.  Back up the Registry first, if you're unsure.   See this link for backing it up:  

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/322756/how-to-back-up-and-restore-the-registry-in-windows

After that, you will need to go back to your System Registry to try and fix the Activation problem, by following these directions:

1. Close FSX and run Registry Editor (press Windows key + R and type   regedit    and     Ok)
2. Expand the following registry key:            

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class{4d36e967-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}    The letters in this key may be capital letters (e.g. 4D36E967.....) .    

3. After you find the folder, double-click Upperfilters on the right side.
4. Delete any value there and type in   PartMgr  (note, this is case sensitive;  type it as shown here) and click OK.  

5. Close Registry Editor and reboot Computer.

6. Start FSX and check whether the Activation box comes up.   

Hope you have success with this.   Let us know.

Hi Giuseppe,

It is true that Dovetail Games can't give support to FSX Boxed Edition as they have developed their own Steam Edition under licence from Microsoft.   The Steam Edition is basically FSX Deluxe with Acceleration and remodelled to suit x64 bit platforms.   As well, FSinsider no longer operates, as FSX is now deemed too old a Simulator and Microsoft have stopped producing Flt. Sims;  so there's no more support.   I try to help where I can, though there are many Flight Simulator Forums (Avsim, Flight Sim.com, Fly Away Simulation, etc.) that you can join and get help.   That is why many flt. simmers are now choosing to move over to FSX-Steam (the closest product to FSX), or to Prepar3d, X-Plane, etc. 

Looking at your post, I'm unsure whether you're having problems installing and/or activating FSX.   There are fixes for these problems, though they don't always work for everyone.   So, let us know what the problem you're having is and what is the error message/code that comes up.   We can try and help you.

But before you even try a fresh installation of FSX (if your problem is with installing FSX), you need to make sure that it has been completely removed from your computer.   That is, to remove it not only from the usual uninstall by using your Disk 1 or through the Uninstall feature in Control Panel, but also to remove FSX from the other folders that might still be left behind and also from the System Registry.   The best way is to type  FSX  in your File Explorer Search bar (after you uninstall first) and see what files are still left for you to delete.   After everything is removed and you are ready to install FSX, then it is best to install it to the root of your Drive (e.g. C:\FSX) and not to the default Program Files.  Also, stop any anti-virus programs from running whilst installing and turn off User Access Control.

Okay. I'll check and I'll try to ammend my registry. I will be posted.

I want, however, to specify that I had tried to install FSX  on the win7 only after uninstalling on win10.  I have not installed FSX at the same time on both.

thank for your reply. I tried a fresh installation again of fsx on windows 10. My product key not run. In the picture, herewith enclosed, there isen't an error code, but "error activation product". the other picture there isen't more "the  account registration". Offcourse the  gamespy account is not valid longer.

I tried to install fsx again on windows 7 and the system said me " your product key was already activated". How can I fix?
