Have you possibly installed it in Trial first, then you activated it, so you are switching from Trial to full ?

If yes, it's probably faster to uninstall it and reinstall it, since it takes much less time to download few large ZIP files, than thousands of small files.

Hi Umberto ,

Well i installed it first via the universal installer but did not go into MSFS i guess. Then i hit Activate afterwards

I am on 40 % now and about 1h . Should i hit cancel ? then?

Thanks

1H seems very long, use this procedure to redownload from scratch:

Now you have the product Active, it will download the full version directly, instead of updating the Trial, which takes very long ( it works, but it might be slow )

Nothing that could affect P3D was in those downloads, but if there was something else that could have, you already downloaded so, try that, and if you have issues in P3D, report them in the P3D section.

It's downloading, that's what it's supposed to do.
