Flight Simulator X Acceleration Activation
Log on to the computer. Exit any programs that are running. Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.
Dan, you are da man!Actually these are the same steps I was sent from Microsoft, except he left out step 5 - reboot! I should have known that the edits would not take effect until after a reboot, but I tried it right after the edit, it didn't work, so I blew the whole thing off.After reading your post I thought OOPS! Didn't try after rebooting - so I just tried the activation wizard again and got the 'Acitvation Successful' message!If you hadn't posted this I would have just sat here for quite awhile without trying it again.Thanks!john. You can tell if you are activated or not by the presence of the multiplayer option on the left hand side of the shell. If multiplayer is missing, you are not activated. If it's there, you are. Quicker than flying and waiting 30 minutes.:)Adding your product key to the dlxkey.txt or stdkey.txt files causes FSX to automatically activate using that key without user interaction.
Useful for automated FSX installs. Arkaos media master pro 4 download. I wouldn't expect it to change anything if you were already having problems activating, though.I'm not 100% sure about that PartMgr registry key. There is a bug in driver for some removeable disk drives (one of them is the iomega I believe) that breaks activation, and this registry key appears to be related to disk drives so it might have something to do with that. I don't know what other effects changing this would have, though, so it seems a bit dangerous. I will try to look into what this is doing. Dan, I got the same advice from Microsoft, but they left out the reboot. It was the reboot after changing to PartMgr that made it work for me.So far it in my research it seems that the key is related to filter drivers for your secondary drives.
I plan to contact Acronis later today to see what they say about this key, before I make any more changes.To me this is a clear sign that the activation process is too fragile to force upon us consumers. I have wasted way too much time on it since purchasing FSX. I feel lucky that I haven't done what some others have done and what was suggested to me by Microsoft and that is re-install my OS.Bruce.
