FSUIPC6 Registration not working

[westhielke]

I'm a long-time FSUIPC user. I just installed P3D V5 and initially just installed FSUIPC6 without registering. I had copied the fsuipc5.ini file from my p3dv4 installation to the fsuipc6.ini file in the p3dv5 addons directory. I saw that it showed up in P3D as an addon, but unregistered.

So I bought the registration key for FSUIPC6, and reinstalled FSUIPC6, entering the registration key, name and email as requested, which was accepted. However, when I start P3D, FSUIPC still says it's unregistered. 

What did I do wrong?

Update--

I tried again by first uninstalling FSUIPC6 from the addons folder and also removing the FSUIPC6.ini file. Then I recopied and renamed the FSUIPC5.ini file to FSUIPC6.ini and reinstalling and reregistering.

This time it seems to have worked.

The INI file actually has nothing at all to do with registration. It contains the settings you make, but no registration details.

The explanation must only be that you made a slight error in entering the Registration details the first time. All three parts -- name, email and key -- must be correct. Best always to cut and paste to avoid errors.
