Trying to register WideFS for P3D

[Ian Dale]

Hi John

Help please, I've read and reread manuals, websites, PDF's and everything else and am still lost.

I have FSUIPC 6 registered fine for P3D v5 Pro, but want to add WideFS. I did purchase WideFS7 previously along with FSUIPC4 for FSX. Questions:

• Is WideFS7 the correct version for P3Dv5 as SimMarket states it works with FSUIPC4 and P3D V3.x, P3D V4.x
• My old WideFS7 key purchased with FSUIPC4 isn't working when registering FSUIPC6, despite the same name and email. Do I need another key?

Help

 

Thanks

Confused

Yes, it is the correct version - it works with FSUIPC4, 5, 6 & 7, and the simulators they support.

You need all 3 parts - key, name and address/email, and they must all match the details specified in your simmarket purchase email or account. If the name or/and address/email differ from your FSUIPC6 details, you need to check the appropriate box and enter those details as well.

Did you re-run the FSUIPC6 installer to register your WideFS7 license? Did your FSUIPC6 key validate ok?

Btw, you posted in the FSUIPC7 / MSFS sub-forum for some reason. Please use the main support forum in future if your issue is related to FSUIPC6 / P3D, although I do accept WideFS7 questions in both forums.

Yes, I did search for a different forum but could only see this one being close.

 

As far as I can see the name and emails are identical across both purchases, the keys were copied from the two purchases straight off the SimMarket page. I did reinstall FSUIPC6 with the obligatory uninstall occurring first, FSUIPC6 registered OK, but only WideFS errored. I've tried a few times without success, triple checking everything.

Let me know your order numbers for FSUIPC6 and WideFS7 and I can check them here.

Ok, but no problem showing those here, they are only useful to me and SimMarket.

I have checked your keys here and they  validate just fine. Are you sure that you are using the correct WideFS7 key, the one starting with T?

Lol, I don't know what you did but it's worked now you've been looking at it. That's the 8th time I've done this. Now you're going to tell me you did nothing 😉

 

 

Thanks for looking into this John
