Registered FSUIP showing as ungeregistered in P3D v 5

[Bunyamin]

I bought FSUPI 6 via sim market and during the installation process I entered the activation details. However when running p3d FSUIP states that the version is not registered? any help is welcome

Did you read the Installation and Registration guide?
Did you check the forums, as this question has been asked hundreds of times already?

Did you click the Register button during registration? 95% id uses are due to this not being done. If you did do this, what did the pop-up say?

Have you installed in a non-windows protected folder?

It is better installed outside of the P3D folder really. Do you have an FSUIPC6.key file in your FSUIPC6 installation folder? This file should be created when you click the Register button. If it doesn't exist, you can create it manually. The contents are:

Quote

[User]
Name=Your Name, as specified in purchase Email
Address=Your Address/Email, as specified in purchase Email
FSUIPC=Your Key, as specified in purchase email

replacing the parts in bold with the relevant details.

The .key file is a .key file. It contains only text and can be edited in Notepad, but it is just not recognised by Windows as a TXT file. Similarly INI and CFG files are text files but are categorised as configuration files.

Note that when you register ALL THREE PARTS (Name, Email and Key) must be exact. You must be making a mistake.

Sorry, but those files are not in your installation folder, they are in the downloadable zip file.

To be clear, you download a zip file. You should extract the contents to a folder somewhere. Do not try to run the installer from within the zip file.

Once you have extracted, you will  have three files: an installation and registration document (pdf) - (please read this document), a txt file detailing the latest changes, and the installer itself.

When you run the installer, that installs FSUIPC 6 into a different folder, the one you selected (or accepted) during this installation process. Please take note of this - change if necessary (and usually recommended).  This is also the folder where your FSUIPC files are located, including the key file previously mentioned.

So I entered the details and after running P3D it still says unregistered copy 😔

[Bunyamin]

It creates from its own a file FSUIPC6_PREV.....

This indicates that there is no FSUIPC6.key file in your installation folder. As I have already said, you can create this manually, as indicated.
I do not know why the installer isn't creating this file for you. Just create it manually as advised. You only need to do this once, so just do that.
