FSUIPC 7 not registering

[gpratt999]

Have downloaded and installed FSUIPC 7 into MSFS2020.

Have used my current licence details for FSUIPC7. Widefs licence code works but FSUIPC licence code does not.

Any clues as to what I am doing wrong

Thanks

What details are those? Licenses for FSUIPC7 only went on sale on 6th November. If you purchased a license , make sure the details are exactly as you specified.

Please remember that
   - licenses for any other FSUIPC version (i.e. FSUIPC4, FSUIPC5, FSUIPC6) are NOT valid for FSUIPC7
   - the license validator in the installer for FSUIPC7 does not validate time-limited licenses
   - instructions on how to add a widefs license to a time-limited license have been given many times.

If you have purchased a license and have re-tried and still have issues, please let me know your order number and email address and I will check it for you.

Hi John

I purchased the licence in the summer. I thought that we had until the 8th November to register from P3d to Msfs2020 so thought my original licence i purchased would work?

Thanks

I just purchased and am also having the same problem- license is not "valid" , purchased on 11/7/20- copied and pasted directly from simmarket.

I have explained this so many times now - please read my previous post. Every version of FSUIPC requires a different license. Any discount for holders of other versions is clearly explained on the product sales page.

@bjratchf Please let me know your order number and email address. You can PM me them if you don't want to post them publicly. Do NOT post your key.

Hi John

Thank you for your reply. Maybe this post needed removing to avoid any confusion. Apologies if I have misread it or misunderstood it.

Hi Gary,

that was the post for the beta releases. It makes no mention of transferring licenses from P3D, and only contains license information on the time-limited licenses I provided for FSUIPC7 during the beta test phase. The last beta license I provided (available on that page) is valid until today, so will expire tomorrow. 

[gpratt999]

Hi John

I have obviously misunderstood. It says it is not possible to purchase a licence so I never tried to make a purchase. I assumed therefore my old licence for version 6 would work fine until the 8th November and/or fsuipc 7 would be free as a trial until the 8th as it was still being beta tested. Apologies.

John,

As a veteran user of FSUIPC in FSX and P3D I was kind of disappointed from the rough beginning in MSFS . Purchased the keys for FSUIPC 7 and WideFS7 today and got the following message: “Registration detailed for FSUIPC7 not valid - pleasure-enter .......etec. etec. . Clicking ok and then “skip “ , received : “ FSUIPC7 is already installed on your system “ . ? . Not sure whats going on . 
 Went in and started the sim , not knowing were to find the initial starting FSUIPC board . I think it will be good idea to publish more accurate and simple guide how and what to do .

     Can anybody put more light on this ?
thanks 

      Paul

They must be exactly as specified in your SimMarket order. Please check and try again, and if you still have an issue let me know your order number and email address and I will check it here.

Sorry, but when you 'skip' don't you see a 'Completing FSUIPC7 v7.0.0 Setup' screen, with the option to create a shortcut.

That message is displayed when you start the installer, in the case that you already have FSUIPC7 installed.

Did you see the README.txt, and the Installation and Registration guide (in the same folder as the installer)?
The documentation (including User guide) is installed under your windows Documents folder, in an FSUIPC7 sub-folder.

Hello, happy new year. I have reinstalled all msfs and the programs and I can't register in FSUIPC7. I have copied and pasted several times trying to do it and it responds that the registration is not valid, how can I fix it? Thank you very much.

After this post, I tried again and it works, I don't know how it happened but now I was able to register, Thank you.

If you registered once, why are you registering again? You don't need to do this - once you have registered and have an FSUIPC7.key file you can just skip registration.
And if it registered once, your leu is fine an there is no point me checking it. Please see the documentation for ALL issues with registration.

John, I was registering again because I have a new computer and reinstalled FSUIPC. I had to reinstall windows more than once and so whenever I downloaded FSUIPC and did a new install of it I will register again. That is why I am registering on this new computer which has been hell with software and windows 11.

That is my reasons for the multiple registration. To work on the new computer.

For a new PC, make sure you have downloaded and installed the latest VC++ redistributables, otherwise the registration details won't validate. Please see the Installation and Registration guide for details.

And have you read the Installation and Registration guide and followed the instructions there? I am not going to check your key until you have done this.
I have checked hundreds (if not thousands) of keys over the years and all have validated successfully, i.e. ALL registration issues are either due to user error or having the wrong VC++ redistributables installed or anti-virus software (see documentation for full list of known possible issues).

@biggstuff and @Krčík Robert: I have checked both your keys, and as expected they are both fine and validate without issue.
As I keep saying, read the Installation and Registration guide and follow the instructions there.

I suffered from read the damn manual syndrome. Becuase it worked previously so easily I did not bother but now after updating the C++ all is good and registered. Sorry for the bother and thx for all you do for our hobby.
