Title: Quick hardware question and license
Post by: Dimon on May 29, 2008, 03:18:50 am

I know that question is silly, but it's just to avoid "surpises".

I/ going to fully replace my RAM next Saturday from 2GB to 4GB. Will it affect the licenses of C9 and FSDT products?

Thanks
Dmitriy

Adding RAM usually don't trigger a new activation, so I guess entirely replacing might be the same.

Don't forget you have 6 activations per product for FSDT and 5 activations for C9, before having to contact anyone asking for a manual reactivation. And, there's always the 90 days rule that, if one of your activations is older than 90 days, it will be forgotten, giving you a new one. This will all happen automatically so, I doubt you'll have any problem.

Does BIOS change affect licenses or not? Going to do that tonite.

Thanks again.

I've flashed the BIOS of my mainboard ( Asus P5W-DH ) last week, but never got any activation issue, the serial I'm using is still counting at 1, the initial activation, so I guess it's quite safe to flash BIOS. However, some mainboards might behave differently, that's why we provide with several spare activations, so people will not need to contact us to use the product, even when the unexpected happens.

Note that, since October 2007, when we first released Zurich using this system, we did only ONE manual reactivation, for a user that got particularly unlucky with multiple hardware failures. And this is out several thousands of orders, this means that basically nobody ran into troubles when upgrading hardware or reinstalling the system.

Virtuali Staff,

Can these Scenery product(s) be installed on two or three computers using the same license? (for use with FSUIPC and FSWide to connect more than one PC to share the FSX GUI work-load for Multi-Monitor support and network-based applications load distribution, etc.).

Thank you.

You have 6 activations: what you do with these, it's up to you.
