Major Addon Loss Follows Motherboard Crash **solved**
grasshopper:
My browser evidently blocks FSDT downloads, which is why the offline registration was the only way that worked for me back in 2008 when I purchased JFK, O'Hare and Zurich. In 2008 I saved and printed out the sequence of steps turning on and off the computer to trigger the offline process from this forum, and figured I might as well take the same steps that finally worked last time.
Given the situation I have described so far, can you offer any pointers about how I can get this registration thing done. Is there a chance I could PM my purchase details so as to obtain an easy short-cut to using these products once again ?

Activation doesn't have anything to do with the browser, and doesn't downloads anything, and it's not done on the FSDT server, but on the Esellerate server.

Maybe your issue it's a FIREWALL program you have installed, which is blocking online access to FLIGHT SIM (not the browser). If you use a software firewall, either turn it off, or explicitly grant online access to Flight sim.

I never said the offline process wouldn't work, I simply said it's easier doing it online, but the offline procedure it's always available and it's always work, provided of course you do it correctly. You can't use the same DATA (the same "codes") you used in 2008, because your hardware is different, but the offline activation is exactly the same, your Serial Number is the same, it will just generate other codes, because your hardware has changed.

We know all your purchase details, and there are only two way you can activate your product:
1) Fixing your issue of not being able to go online with Flight sim, because the online activation it's surely easier. This is probably caused by a firewall or another security program you are running.
2) Do the offline activation correctly. Which, as I've said, is not changed at all from 2008, it will just need to be re-done, because the hardware has changed.
grasshopper:
Thanks for the reply Umberto. I'll go ahead and try the offline procedure again, but would appreciate any directions you can offer,since I failed to make any headway three times in a row, even when I used new codes generated during the offline process.
grasshopper:
I finally made time to try the offline route again, Virtuali, but wound up foiled again, just as on all previous attempts I made.
Is there a chance that you would consider allowing me to purchase your products in CD form, so that I can finally be free of the complications I have faced since my computer motherboard was replaced ? If this could be made possible for me, I will gladly re-purchase those CDs and write off my online purchases of Zurich, Ohare and JFK scenery as losses that will not be recovered. I do in fact value FSDT scenery sufficiently to pay for the same products twice, but I hope my ex-wife doesn't read this, or her attorney might get ideas.
Thanks in anticipation of ANY solution that you can offer.

Sorry, but you just can't be so generic. Please, describe exactly what steps you did, and what message or errors you saw on screen,
And, beside, why you don't simply try the online activation, which is simpler ?

What makes you think that having the installer on a CD will make any difference ? It will still obviously require an activation, which will work exactly like this one. If you want the installer on a CD, you can simply burn it yourself...which doesn't make much sense, since we update them fairly often, and there's no need for you to do a backup, since the installer is always freely available to download.
Now, back to the start: please describe exactly what are you doing, what error messages you see because, since it appears the software is running correctly, you just seems to fail the activation part and, that's 100% sure it always working for everyone so, we just need to find what you do wrong, or what software installed on your system is interfering.
