Just purchased Los Angeles V2 to add to my CYVR and KJFK V2 with GSX to FSX additions.
I've just spent the last three hours trying to register it with the serial number but each time was unsuccessful. When I hit the Register Now key, nothing, no message box, nothing on the desk top.
Anyway to cut a long story short, I closed FSX down again and started it up from the FSX icon on the desk top (I have always started FSX via REX with the "Fly Now" button). This time the registration box came up and LA V2 is installed and active.
Just thought I'd mention it here in case another user has the same problem.
A Merry Christmas to all. ;D

Yes, the starting with REX issue ( and starting with Active sky too ) issue has been mentioned several times in the past.
There must be something wrong with the program focus when you start FSX from an external program, which makes our registration dialog to go in the back, is not really disappeared, but those programs seem to always force them into the foreground, which is a waste of valuable resources and possibly performances too, because Windows doesn't treat background programs with the same priority of those into the foreground, that's why you will probably always want to start FSX from its icon.
