How do I stop the endless trial period has started

(1/2) > >>

Hello.  I have been fighting with this issue over and over.  I fly P3D v5.4 and check the 12 FSDreamteam airports I have installed.  Sometimes everything is good, but often I get the message that the trial period has started again.  The addon manager entire folder and subfolders have been excluded from my Norton Antivirus scans.  I have made no changed to scenery that I know of yet the trial period message keeps coming back.  I Have redownloaded the installers for each, reinstalled each airport, reactivated each airport and still get the trial period messages.  I am at a loss as to how this can be fixed.  It's to the point that it is almost not worth having the FSDreamteam airports installed in P3D any more.  What triggers these trial period messages to appear?  Please help.  I am so frustrated with this constant reinstalling of these airports (KMEM, KDFW, KLAS, KLAX, KIAH, KSDF, KCLT, PHNL, PHLI, PHTO, PHKO, PHOG).

As an update.  I just finished uninstalling everything from FSDreamteam for my P3D and MSFS flight simulators.  In P3D I made sure there were no references to any of the airports listed above in the addons.cfg file or the scenery.cfg files.  I deleted the addon manager folder after everything was uninstalled.  I reinstalled all of the software which took hours and activated each and every one.  Started up P3D v5.4 and there it is again that the trial period has started.  What am I doing wrong?  What am I missing?  Why doesn't your software recognize that the airports have been activated?

Can I make a suggestion. First of all, I'm using FSX as my sim. As you and I both know that scenery bought from FSDT comes with a trial period. I have seen the trial period restart in my sim also and after checking everything, nothing seems to be wrong, the scenery was still listed. So, I just ignored it, as long as my scenery was still working and it seemed to disappear on it's own after awhile. I just guessed that after an update or two, the restart message cleared itself. Not much of a technical explanation but the computer Gods can be fickle.

Thank you for your reply but this has not gone away.  Perhaps I will wait a while since I just reinstalled everything but this shouldn't be happening.  Right now I'm looking to email support to see if there is something wrong on the back end server keeping my installs in the trial period.  Right now I'm so frustrated I could scream.

jfwharton:
I am beginning to think you are correct.  I contacted support and they implied that there is a permissions issue with my system.  That is most likely a correct assessment but so many others have this issue as well.  The airports from FSDreamteam are the only ones that have a trial period.  I do not have any issues with any of the airports I have purchased from other developers, only FSDreamteam.  So I guess I'll just tolerate the situation but I deeply regret purchasing the FSDreamteam airports I have and am considering just uninstalling them and not purchasing anything from FSDreamteam again.  I'll have to wait and see if I can tolerate this issue or not.
