At least the FSX activation leaves you alone after activating. Some later games check you when changing your underwear (feels like).  Shocked Change too often and see the activation limit coming up. That's 2012 at some devs.  Undecided

GTA IV was good (sort of) in that way. You put the disc in the drive, start the game, remove the disc and continue playing without any problems (still meant using the disc way too often in my opinion Sad). I had it installed on my computer as well as my 2 sons computers so we could play multyplayer. As each one started the game, they used the disc, then I put it away for safe keeping. Not so sure that ws legal either, but it worked. My sons and I has some crazy multiplayer games with it. Grin

I am interested to know:

Are we going to loose SimConnect:

•Add the processing for a new complex gauge, or other instrument, to ESP.
•Replace ESP processing of one or more events with new logic.
•Record or monitor a flight.
•Extend the mission system of ESP.
•Create and set the flight plans for AI (non-user) aircraft.
•Set different weather systems.
•Enable new hardware to work with ESP.
•Control an additional camera that the user can optionally select to view.
Undecided

Ahmet, where does your concern issuing SimConnect come from? The interface is there, it installs, it works. What has changed?  Huh

CoolP,
SimConnect is source of server for FSX, provided by MS. Why would MS  maintain  Simconnect for FSX? They will turn in off.
If I am right, with out Simconnect, Add-ons will not function. Kiss

SimConnect is installed with FSX. So it is not a part of MS service. It will always be there for us to use. Wink

I would like to think they would not bar licensees from future activations. Maybe a small file folks could download to go around the activation process. If not, I would have no scruples doing what I needed to do. Time to get out that old EULA and a highlighter lol
