Recently I got a new computer and installed FSX on it, I had it on my old computer, but it's making me activate it again. When ever I try it, it tries to connect to the activation server for about half a second, and then says "The activation server could not be reached." and gives me the three options: Try again over the internet, Activate by telephone, and Activate later. For the past couple weeks I've been saying activate later, but it's getting annoying and I want to use all the features, and I don't want to activate by phone. Any suggestions?

Call Microsoft. It's a very quick phone call and they will get the job done.

Yeah Activate by phone, somebody correct me if i'm wrong but you only get I think 3 or 8 instals of FSX before the online activation stops working.

Yes, give them a call. I have since FSX came out installed it on two desktops and two laptops due to upgrades and replacement. There was never a problem or any probing questions.

by the manual, you are only allowed from Microsoft to have FSX on 2 computers.   That is unless you uninstall 1 copy and then activate it to another computer to which you will have to call Microsoft to get the new computer to register.
