Unable to re-activate my second FSX Gold Install >> after UNINSTALLING my first Install !!!!!!

Thanks Carl-L for your response , I sincerely appreciate this, I do regret that I failed to point out the essence of my question.

Will you give me a second chance to correct this. My question is only related to a Microsoft Software Product ; Microsoft Flight Simulator FSX - Gold Edition., one of the predessors of the present Microsoft Flight Simulator programs: MSFS2020 and MSFS2024 developed by Micrsoft and Asobo companies. FSX Gold was released somewhere after 2006 and was only available on 3 DVD's , 2 with the FSX DeLuxe program and 1 last DVD with the : Microsoft FSX Accelaration upgrade. The

required License Keys for the individual programs where included in the sealed DVD Box and never in any way vicible from the outside. You only got the code's after opening the box which normally could only happen if you paid for the product beforehand. To my knowledge and what I remember from 'back-then' the program or any Flight Simulator was never 'preinstalled' on a PC or Laptop during the manufacturing process. Possible the retailer/seller of the hardware may have installed the program on request of a client during the sale transaction. In my case my FSX Gold has allways been an independent product , only owned by myself, and installed consequative on 2 seperate PC 's through the years, allways removed/deleted completely from the previous PC before installing on my next PC. The program has never been installed on more than one PC, allways my own PC. Please may I point out that my question has no relation what so ever to any Operating System that my PC may run. One PC ran on Preinstalled EULA Windows OS, one PC ran on Official Original Watermarked WINDOWS DVD I purchased from the well-known dutch 'MyCom' computer hardware shops. I have been using existing previous iterations of Microsoft Flight Simulator (uptil MSFS2020) on every available OS including DOS right from 5 1/4" floppy days............ I did say that I was willing to pay a fair price for any reactivation of my FSX Gold, payment would off course be to an Official MIcrosoft account..... Again since I've complied to all EULA rules and regulations I should be able to reactivate my second and with that only Installment of the program. I would truly appreciate any advice or thought I from any person in the community. Thanks so much for yr effort and reply , with kind regards Peter B.

Dr Mr/Mrs Carl-L Thanks so much for yr assistance, may I please refer to my answer/post : Oct 8, 2026, 8:01 PM.

Please the license codes I talk about are only a printed on an orange card which is included in the package containing

the game program. Please my question has no relationship with the O.S. on my PC or Laptop. The first O.S. Windows 10 was preinstalled on my last computer and Laptop. I upgraded to WIN11 during the free upgrade offer from Microsoft , which was around 2021/2022 if I remember correct. During this upgrade my FSX Gold remained installed on my hard-drive, no issues what so ever. Last week I uninstalled my FSX_Gold (through Control Panel\Programs and deleting\removing all possible remaing folder\files in Personal folders User: My documents and User:\Apps\Roaming)etc etc and even removing the entire FSX entry in Windows Registry. This itself is not an uncommon action, sometimes this is neccessary to clean up a corrupted Flight Simulator folder structure and build your Flight Simulator from the 'ground up' with a fresh start. The problem came after I re-installed my FSX from the original MIcrosoft DVD 's containing the program. I was prompted to reactivate, and was denied reactivation. The ultimate reason being that the program can only be installed on one platform at the time. (According to the EULA regulations) , I fully agree that's why I always completely uninstall/remove/delete all entries of the program before a fresh reinstall or making any changes to any hardware. I respect and thank Microsoft Company for the incredible software environment they give us to reach all of our goals professionaly and and on a entertainment level. I think there may be a glitch somewhere in the activation authorisation portal. The picture is my FSX_Gold Box containing the 3 DVD's , mauals and orange carton with the license code's that belong to this copy of the program only. If I did make a mistake somewhere in this uninstall/install process I would be happy to learn. thnxs again for yr help and assistance, kind regards Peter B.

Again thanks again for your and all Microsoft support, after 2 hours of some screendigging I was able to formally activate both my FSX de Luxe and my FSX Gold Acceleration DVD's through the AKA.MS/AOH Portal. I would say this is a bit complicated sequence of screens with some pretty tricky questions. Finally in the end, after a long thought, I figured out from what standpoint you have to answer the questions, I overlooked the fact in the beginning that the Installation ID has to be copied or written down when the phone screen is there,

I am happy that indeed I had complied to all EULA rules from the start regarding Uninstalling and Installing the product. regards, thnxs again for yr help P.Bootes
