1) if i buy 4 sceneries today am i entitled to a 30% discount of each scenery ?
Yes, of course.
2) am i entitled to run it on both fsx and fs9 ?
Yes, absolutely. They will share the same activation, if you have FSX and FS9 on the same PC and Windows installation, or they just take 2 activations (of the 6 you have available before having to contact us for a reactivation), if you have FSX and FS9 on different PCs
3) i tend to reinstall my OS quite often (every 1-2 months) will i encouter any difficulties activation my sceneries ?? what happenes if i decide to upgrade my hardware ?? will i have to contact you guys in order to activate it ??
This is already explained in the FAQ. If you don't need to contact us every time you change hardware. The ONLY time you need to contact us, is when you change hardware for the 6th time AND your last activation was obtained less than 90 days earlier.
what will happen i'll decide to upgrade a hardweare part, and you'd go out of business (god forbids) who will activate my scenery ?
Apart for the fact that we are in business since 1993 (FSDT it's just a brand, you are buying from Virtuali s.a.s., which exists as a commercial scenery developers since FS4 and Ms-Dos) so, I'd say it's quite unlikely we'll go out of business any time now.
However, let's assume this happens, what will happen to you, depend on your activation status. It's important to point out that we don't run the activations server ourselves, we use Esellerate activation servers and those will not go down in case we go ouf of business.
So:
- If we go out of business and you still have activations left, nothing will happen, the product will self-reactivate automatically, getting a new activation from the server.
- If we go out of business and you consumed all your 6 activations, but the last one was obtained more than 90 days earlier, nothing will happen as well, because one old activation will be automatically "forgotten", so you will get a new activation and the program will self-reactivate as well.
- If we go out of business AND you consumed all your 6 activations AND the last one was obtained less than 90 days earlier, you will need to wait until the 90th day arrives, counted from the date you got your previous activation, not from the day you are attempting a new reactivation.
- If we go out of business AND Esellerate/Digital River will ALSO go out of business, this would be the only case of not being able to use the product anymore.
- If Esellerate/Digital River will go out of business, but we didn't, we'll just switch to another activation company, you might just have to update the software, and that's it.
I think to have covered all the "out of business" scenarios so, I'd say that it's highly unlikely that you won't be able to use the product anymore. And, should we really go out of business, we'll probably either release the products as freeware OR (more likely) sell their rights to another FS publisher, which will of course handle support.
