Where did you buy that from? You should really have got it with it, if you didn't buy an authentic copy then there may not be much you can do.

Thanks
James

Sorry if this sounds racist...but if you bought it in Thailand, and it didn't come in an authentic MS casing with an authentic product key, then it's probably not genuine. In this case, you'll need to buy a legit copy from somewhere (GPStore has it for $80) ;)

Sorry mate, looks like an illegal copy so there is nothing that can be done. Don't go to Microsoft or official websites looking for help because firstly what would you say and they probably wouldn't appreciate you saying that you bought it illegaly, thirdly they would tell you to p#ss off. So if you desperately want a copy you're gonna have to save up for a legal one. Go to one of the trusted gaming shops in your area, or buy it online from an online shop, they have to sell legal copies, its easy for people to find and place charges against people if they give themselves away online.

In the future, if you don't think its legal, give it pass.

It's a horrible situation to be in...especially if you didn't know beforehand that it was a pirated copy.

I've had a bit of a look around for you, and I would suggest reporting this case of piracy to Microsoft. The Japanese site is here:
http://www.microsoft.com/japan/legal/enfor...rt/default.mspx
I can't read Japanese, so I don't know how helpful it will be to you, but they might be able to help you.

And have a read of this also, which give information about genuine products vs pirated products:
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/howtote...g=en&pg=mpa

I do remember reading that people who purchased pirated copies of the Operating System were able to get the OS from Microsoft at a reduced price. I don't know if this is also the case with FSX or not :)

Interesting...you live in Japan, you buy illegal software in Thailand, and come to a NZ Forum asking for help to get it working.
Y'know, if it weren't the season of goodwill I'd say you were a Troll...
