I'm getting more disgusted with FSX by the minute.
I just fired up FSX and get an error message that "activation failed" and that I should reinstall FSX!
MS releases this BS and then wonders why there is so much piracy?
Imaging this.... you have

You've got to laugh, else you will be inspired to leap off the nearest cliff...

You can just hope that all your add-on files remain intact and can be saved before the dreaded re-install...

what do you mean "no wonder their is so much piracy" when activation is to stop piracy, and from the sounds of things you have a pirated copy if its telling you activation has failed..that or u didnt activate it....

Just because his activation failed doesn't mean he has a pirated copy.

I only have a few minor mods so fare so, re-installing will be no big deal.
However, what about further down the road when this happens?
Is there even any point in re-installing FSX now before a major patch is released instead of just uninstalling it?
I think not!!
Thus why I am waiting and flying around Alaska in FS9 until the FINAL VERSION, Vista, DX-10 and any other patches are released....
Ahhhh, time to go get lost in FS9 where there are no worries....
Only me, the bush and the elements...
Come experience it for yourself....

Just because someone has a failed activation doesn't mean its pirated... He was just saying no wonder there is piracy as people don't want to pay money for something so bad, which I agree with fully... (not agreeing with piracy, rather the fact that FSX should NOT have been released in its currrent state)
All the best,
