Help - I cannot register FSUIPC 3.7...

[schwuchi]

I purchased FSUIPC 3.7.. through simmarket. When I want to register, I get told, that the 12 key code, simmarket send me, is not valid. What is the problem ? I need some help Mr. Dawson. There is no mistake in putting in my name or the registered e-mail.

I have FS9 installed on a Windows Vista machine. Might that be the problem ?

SimMarket sells keys for version 3 and version 4. You do not purchase a specific release. The current version for FS9 and before is 3.75.

I don't know from the information you are giving me. Please send all the details privately to me at petedowson@btconnect.com.

It it Dowson, not Dawson, or Pete if you like.

For Vista you need to take extra steps, as documented -- to run FS "as administrator" -- but that wouldn't make FSUIPC reject the key as invalid, it would merely either stop you entering it altogether, or let you enter it but still be unregistered.

In all cases these days, invalid key problems always turn out to either be attempting to enter an FSUIPC4 key into FSUIPC3 (or vice versa), or making a mistake in one or other of the three fields: name, email, key. It is best to cut and paste to make sure every character is correct. For keys it is easy to mix up I's 1's and L's, 2's and Z's, 0's and O's.
