First, it would be nice if you could write a message in a more readable way. Your point can get across just the same, without having to abuse of punctuation marks and emoticons.

Your problem doesn't have anything to do with the "lack of CD" you are mentioning. The "Installation ID" is NOT normally used, it's NOT the normal way to reinstall but, it's an ALTERNATE way to activate a product when NO INTERNET CONNECTION is available.

If the program can't access the internet, it will present you with an alternate activation method, which require to generate an hardware ID on your system, go to ANOTHER PC that HAS internet access, generate an installation ID based on the hardware ID, which you can use on the non-internet connected PC to activate without an internet connection.

This is called OFFLINE activation and will only appear if the computer you are installing into doesn't have online access.

Now, the reason for this is either you *really* don't have online access, in this case either connect the PC to the internet OR follow the aforementioned OFFLINE activation

OR

You have installed a firewall program, which is blocking online access to FSX, so it thinks there's no internet connection and start the offline activation method. In this case, you will have to configure your firewall program to grant online access to FSX.

If you can access the internet, reactivation can't be simpler:

- Select the Addon Manager menu

- Select the product to be activated

- Click the "Register Serial" button

- Insert your SERIAL NUMBER (the one listed as "Serial Number" on your purchase receipt) and let it activate.

I think what Umberto meant was to not use loads of ....... between your messages
It makes reading a little harder
If you just use the enter key it makes your text more readable

Im glad you got your problem solved
GSX is by far the best addon for FSX
There sceneries are the best too

Have fun
