Airports activation problem???? **SOLVED**
« on: December 31, 2014, 12:03:21 pm »
Hello,

I hope I am in the right place?
Yesterday I bought Airports KIAD, KPHX, KDEN at Flightbeam on PC Aviator!

I only get KIAD activated!

If I try the others I get a message to first start the airport before giving in the serial and then It won't activate!


But the airport is running in FSX!

Addon Manager is updated!

What can I do?

Regards Robert

Well, not really, but we can surely help you.

First thing, DO NOT use any Download you got from PC Aviation. Chances are they are outdated, download the latest installers from Flightbeam.

If would be best if you said the precise, exact, text of this message, because it doesn't look it has anything to do with the scenery, I don't recall anything similar to this message ever being displayed and, since I wrote both the installers and the module that handles the activation...

That's good, so you mean it's working.

It obviously is...since it's being downloaded automatically by the installer, you can't get an old version by mistake.

Activate the other sceneries in exactly the same way you activated KIAD: using the "Register Serial" function of the Addon Manager. This will work in ANY CASE, even if you don't have the scenery installed, that's why I fail to understand what your message was about, since the Serial Number, if inserted correctly, will always be accepted, even if the scenery is not installed yet.

It's likely you copied & pasted from the email, and sometimes (depending on the email client), copy and pasting from an email result in invisible control characters (related to unicode) that you can't see, which makes the serial "wrong", even if it "looks right".

Just type it manually, and it will work, provided you type it correctly, of course...
