Do not use the Addon Linker with our products, they are ALREADY creating a symbolic link, and I'm not sure "linking a link" is safe.
Yes, you have the complete freedom to choose the Addon Manager location, but this choice is offered to you only the FIRST time you install any FSDT product, regardless of the simulator used. All our products MUST stay together, in the place of your choosing. This is required for the Live Update to be able to update them all.
If you want to change the Addon Manager installation, there's only one way to do this correctly, and is:
- Uninstall all your FSDT products, both for MSFS and, if you have some for FSX or P3D, uninstall those as well.
- Reply "YES" to the question "Do you want to remove the Addon Manager ?" which is made during the uninstall process. Not required you do it each time, but you must do it at least during *one* Uninstall.
- Reinstall all products, and you'll notice you'll be offered again the choice for a destination folder, which can be on every drive/folder you like.
- Activation will NEVER be affected by this. You can uninstall/reinstall an unlimited number of times and, as long as you are not changing hardware or reinstalling Windows, the activation will never be affected by reinstalls.
