new computer: can I set up FSX again?

FSX can be activated up to two times (I think). Just install FSX normally and activate.

You should be able to install FSX on your new computer, that would be the second installation that they allow you.

From Microsoft:
Q4: How many times can I activate the product?

A4: There is no limit to the number of times that you can activate the software product on the same computer. For example, you can remove and re-install or re-activate the product any number of times. An additional activation is provided so that you can remove and re-install the product on the same computer or on a different computer. See the End User Licensing Agreement (EULA) for more information. The EULA is located in the game folder.

Q6: Can I install the product on more than one computer?

A6: You can install and use one copy of the software product on the licensed device. The licensed device is the device for which you have accepted the license agreement. You can remove the product and then install the product on another computer. However, you cannot share the license between two or more computers. See the End User License Agreement (EULA), for more information.

Thanks, guys. I presume the same thing applies to FS2004; I want both available, since I have a zillion FS9 downloads. Now if I can figure how to get them all moved over from one machine to the other.

Fortunately you're wrong. You can install fs9 as many times as you like - that's from the horses mouth 😀

I presume you are ignorant about FSX because you do not own a copy.
Since you do not own FSX and have never installed/uninstalled one, why do you have to answer this question? Nobody will call you stupid if you don't say anything.

What are you going on about! It says clearly in his first post that he has FSX and needs to reinstall on another machine. He also has FS2004 which he wants to move too. Read before you say anything
