Hi,
Ok - had my first problem and not sure what to do about it.
After entering my 25 digit product key for flight simulator X, I get the
following error:
Invalid Product Key
The product key entered is incorrect or invalid.
Please retype the correct product key.
OK
This is the product key direct off the little slip of paper I got with the
disk, which I bought new off Amazon.
Disabling widnows firewall didn't help - so I tried disabling security
essentials for a spell which didn't help either.
Anyone have any ideas?
