Microsoft: Need activation code for my Microsoft Flight Simulator

Microsoft (Routers): Need activation code for my Microsoft Flight Simulator
There is a Youtube video that shows how to get around the error. Tried it and it worked. In youtube search for "How to fix the 1-80004005 Error Code for FSX".

Note that I did not see this error until I applied SP1 and SP2. The net fix was to run regedit and get to a location where the value was set to "partmgr" when it should be "PartMgr". Once I made that change in the registry it worked and I was able to activate
FSX.

Microsoft Flight Simulator on Xbox a good idea?

Microsoft Flight isn't Microsoft Flight Simulator. Different game and it's not as demanding as your think. Most PCs/Laptops should be able to run it.

Microsoft Flight is the latest installment to the flight genre though.

Xbox One Flight Sim?

There are very few flight simulators or the Xbox 360, but those few go extremely unaccredited. Birds of Steel, Over G Fighters are arguable the most realistic flight sim's for the 360. Whats the chances of there being a flight simulator on Xbox One, a
new system with new amazing abilities.

Personally, I think if Microsoft decided to create an Xbox exclusive Flight Simulator kinda like Microsoft Flight. I think Microsoft Flight was a good idea, especially if it had the same scale as Flight Simulator X (which im sure could be ran on an Xbox
One)

Or, maybe even a combat flight simulator like Over G Fighters, but with updated graphics and airplanes.

....Maybe im over thinking it, the flight sim genre hasn't been the most popular in this recent gaming industry.

But I know for sure that im not the only fan of aviation that also loves to play xbox.

I have the same problem, can install the Deluxe Edition but get an error when I try to activate. I found that are two updates to FSX, SP1 and SP2. SP1 does not fix the activation problem and SP2 will not allow me to even start FSX without an error. Backed
out SP2 in order to start FSX.

Hello Edgar D'souza,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

Please allow me to assume that you are trying to activate the Microsoft Flight Simulator, but seem to be having some difficulty at the moment?

Normally, if you purchase a game directly from the Microsoft Store, the game will be tied directly to your Microsoft account. After downloading and installing the game, log in with your account to play.

But given that you are referring here to the flight simulator key, can I understand that you may have a Microsoft flight simulator code, but you don't know how to redeem it?

You may wish to follow the instructions in the following link to redeem, and once the redemption is complete, the game will be linked to your Microsoft account:

How to redeem your Microsoft Flight Simulator code on your Microsoft account – Microsoft Flight Simulator Support (zendesk.com)

But if this is not what you want, or I misunderstand your question, since it is a game activation issue, please go to the official Microsoft Flight Simulator forum to try to get help. There is a game support team here to help you:

Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums

Best regards,

Mitchell - | Microsoft community support expert from MSFT

The only game I can think of at the top of my head that that would matter is something like Microsoft flight simulator that actively streams assets
