No Disc Needed...
Posted: Fri Oct 13, 2006 7:27 pmSo did MS decide that since the copyright protection would be cracked so quickly anyway, to just give in and go back to 'No Disc Required' like in FS2002? :)

Posted: Fri Oct 13, 2006 10:23 pmAs long as you're not bootlegging it, what is the big deal about activating the game? When I bought Photoshop (more money than I care to admit spending), I had to activate it, as you do with most programs today. Big deal...

... I tend to reinstall Windows XP quite a lot ( always changing motherboards and things), I activated mine so many times that it exceded the number of times it can be done over the internet, I had to do it over the phone. I got tired of that mess and after installing a fresh copy I just create an image just so I can restore it in a matter of minutes which was what I did right after reinstalling it today. If everything goes as planned, I will do the same when I buy FSX and if anything goes wrong I can just restore the OS and games and be ready. It takes me from 1-3 hours reinstalling Windows XP and all the programs from all the retail CDs; however, it takes about 30 minutes at the most to restore the image I created and it is already activated too! so it works for me.
