Can't register - bought in 2003

[pylon101]

Dear Peter,

After I finally acquired a new desktop - trying to register the latest FSUIPC using the installer.

Seems it is not working for me.

I had bought it on 09/03/2003 on Simmarket - and the older type of registration used to work just fine.

I would be greatful if you assist with this.

Thanks.

"Latest" doesn't really mean anything. What version number?

Seems it is not working for me.

What is the symptom? You need to explain more I'm afraid.

I had bought it on 09/03/2003 on Simmarket - and the older type of registration used to work just fine.

The registration system has not changed, ever. It is only now performed by the installer instead of in FS because FS normally doesn't have enough privileges. The likes of Vista and Windows 7 forced changes on all of us. Your FSUIPC3 key is valid forever, for all versions of FSUIPC3 (but not FSUIPC4 of course).

I would be greatful if you assist with this.

I would most certainly do so if I could, but at present I don't have enough information. Did you run the Installer 'as administrator', as instructed? What exact version number of FSUIPC? Is the date on your PC set correctly? What is the symtom of the problem -- it your key rejected, or is it just that FS still says you aren't registered? Are you using the exact same name and email as you did in 2003 as you must?

Regards

Peter,

1. It is 3.9.9.8. version - the latest for FS 9, I assume.

2. The symptom: when I open FS 9 - Modules - FSUIPC - it says "unregistered" and referes me to the installer.

I did this operation for 3 times.

3. Yes, I did installation "as administrator".

4. The installer doesn't reject - in FS 9 - Modules - FSUIPC it says "this copy is unregistered".

5. Yes, I use the same name, e-mail address (which doesn't exist for years alread) and the reg number used to keep and additionally checked though Simmarket order history.

Hope it helps.

Thanks.

The latest is actually 3.998r, but the latest installer in 3.998q. If you don't see the 'q' please download the smaller 3.998r Zip from Download Links subforum, unzip it and copy it into the FS Modules folder.

2. The symptom: when I open FS 9 - Modules - FSUIPC - it says "unregistered" and referes me to the installer.

I did this operation for 3 times.

Once is enough. Have you checked the date your computer is set to, as I asked?

Is there an FSUIPC.KEY file in the FS Modules folder, and if so are the details inside it correct? (It is a text file, you can view it in notepad). Can you ZIP it up and email it to me so I can check it here? petedowson@btconnect.com
