Microsoft Flight Simulator PC cannot login on new computer but plays fine on old computer

Even on the US, MS Flight Simulator is tied to your account, not a certain computer. So you can login with your account to many computers, install MS FS and play it on them (but not at the same time).

Now I'm not really sure how educational licensing will be handled. Maybe you can buy let's say 50 educational licenses and install MS Flight Simulator on several computers but logged in with the same account and play on the 50 computers at the same time.

As I said we are only speculating here. Only Microsoft employees can give you an exact answer on volume/bulk licensing.

Hello, Francisco. Thanks for reaching out! My name is Lucas, and I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be happy to assist you today.

How is your setup to install MS Flight Simulator? I mean, if you own a flight institution (or aeronautical engineering institution) with computers, you can install and license MS Flight Simulator on these computers and let the students use these computers on your education institution.

Now if you want to license MS Flight Simulator to be used on your students home computer (which will change like every year or so), it'll be a different situation.

I think the best option for you is to contact Microsoft about Flight Simulator by submitting a support ticket here (it's the official MS Flight Simulator Support channel):

you would need at least the min specs here





you could pick up (hopefully) a cheap used gaming pc with those specs, but if you want top notch graphics for the game and high framerates then you need to lean more to the ideal spec.

a pc is a pc, any pc can be a gaming pc with the right GPU.
