• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Hi guys,

I have a problem with installing FSX on a external harddisk. The installation proces has fully completed, but when I start the program, I get this message

Product activation error
An error occurred while attempting to activate the product. The problem may due to an incomplete installation of the application. Reinstalling may solve the problem. Otherwise, please contact product support for assistance.

I have reinstal the whole program at the same external harddisk but the porblem stil occurs.

I have tried to contact the customer support but for that i have to pay at least€72,-!!! :eek: :mad:

maybe you guys are familiair with this problem, and are able to help me solve this problem.

What I also would like to say is that I use a legal version of FSX, and that this version of FSX always have worked on my internal harddisk.

Please help me:)

Hi,

Did you have FS installed before in another location on the same computer? I am thinking it might be a registry problem.
 
Thanks for the tip but i already solved the problem. I found a crack on the internet that bypasses the registery file. It is not a legal way, but microsoft do not have another solution for this problem.

But i have another problem now, and i know for shure that fsx will not run on my laptop. I have a netbook 10" screen, fsx requieres a minimum of 1024x768 pixels but my videocard on this small laptop is configured for max 1024x600 pixels.

So when I start FSX it gives a message to change my screen resolution. After that message it shuts down itself.

I have been looking on many many forums, but there is no way play FSX on a netbook.
Only FS2000, fs2002 and fs9 are able to run on this type of laptops.

So thanks for your help!

regards!

Tim
