Puzzling Glitch?

[HiFlyer]

Playing with some new memory sticks o my machine today I have been doing some overclocking tests, playing with voltages, cpu speeds etc.

At the end of the day i started up fsx and the FsDreamteam scenery's claimed that they had not been activated on my machine, and asked did I want to activate them. I said yes and everything seems fine but I am slightly nervous as to what the problem was......

Indeed that is strange since you did not do a reformat or reinstall.  Perhaps someone with more experience can answer this one.

On the other hand, I doubt that there is a need to worry as far as FSDT re installs are concerned.  They have a very good system when it comes to re activations.

Not sure why it would do that but regarding the software, you have nothing to worry about.  You get plenty of activations of the scenery and, should you happen to go over that amount, I believe Virtuali said they could add more (like if you had computer problems like me and had to reinstall the scenery numerous times).

Depending on the mainboard bios, overclocking might count as an hardware change. The reason why we give 6 activations for each order, is to cover such cases.

And, don't forget there's the automatic reclaim of older activations 90 days after the last activation. So, along the life of a product, one might get more than 6 activations in total, automatically, without our intervention.

Should you need additional activations if you exceeded all the available AND less than 90 days are passed since the last activation was granted, we can add them manually.

Ok, thank you.

I suspected as much, but was just pretty startled. Like my machine had suddenly barked at me!

I blinked and said "What the.....!"
