Installing KORD causes Activation issue w/Cloud9 KLAX
jasonc:
When I installed KORD last night (March 14, 2008, 9:30pm PST) and started up FS9 I got a dialog box that said KLAX was not activated (that I had previously activated and paid for) and if I wanted to activate it. Is this normal?
virtuali:
Yes, is absolutely normal. It's not an error, it's intentional, and is for your own good:
Cloud9 is now offering an activation policy more similar to ours: 5 activations per order instead of the previous 1. This means you will be able to change hardware on Cloud9 products more often, before having to resort to email support for a reactivation.
In order to enjoy this benefit, the latest version of the Addon Manager (this one) is needed, so all installed Cloud9 products will be able to "register" with the new activation database.
This means, the first time you launch FS after this update, all installed Cloud9 products will ask to confirm their activation. You will simply need to reply "Yes" and from then on, you will start fresh with 5 activations, regardless of how many you had in the past.
The fact that it appeared here before, it's just because we published Chicago with the new activation policy, before Cloud9 hasn't announced the change in their policy, but they will very soon.

Ok, thanks virtuali for the information. Great support here, fabulous! ;D

Fascinating. Absolutely fascinating.
I noticed two things when I first activated KORD. The first thing was a reference to SimFlyers. Whoa!!
The second thing was the previously mentioned activation of C9's KLAX, which, of course (being a man of superior taste ;D ) I have. I figured something I didn't know about was going on so I just went ahead and said yes when it asked me if I wanted to activate it. You gotta have some faith in your fellow bipeds on occasion. Imagine my surprise when, after that, KLAX now works better than it ever did. I used to have the lights on the runway disappear on me and the marshaller and the gate just sit there. No longer! Now, I even get a little "ding" when the scenery knows I'm there. Boy, that's service fer ye.
Interesting though that, at Gate 74....I think it is.... the marshaller (poor guy) is half entombed in what appears to be a pushback vehicle of some sort.

This is interesting and would be nice to get an answer. I purchased KORD the first day the installer was fixed. I have Cloud9 KLAX, EHAM, and KDCA. After installing KORD I was asked if I wanted to activate the above mentioned Cloud9 sceneries, which I did with no more problems.
Now today 04/05/08, when I ran FS9, it says that KLAX is installed but not yet activated on this computer and do I want to activate it? I have not changed any hardware or updated any scenery that would make me have to activate these sceneries again! Is anyone else seeing this? I just checked yes to activate KLAX, and it gave me an eSellerate Error - 25001 - serial number not found! This is "bullsh_t". I flew 2 flight with FS9 yesterday, turned the pc off last night, turned it on today, and this!!! I'm not sure who's problem this is FSdreamteam or cloud9's, but since they share the same activation system, it should be shared. Never had a problem before with any of cloud9's sceneries, until KORD was installed.
Any ideas as to why this is happening 2 to 3 weeks after installing KORD?
