IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ
The procedure below will assign a serial number and license key to your installation of the software.  The serial number and license key are unique to this one computer, and the numbers will not work on any other computer or hard drive.  The numbers will no longer work if you reformat the drive, purchase a new drive, buy a new computer, or tamper with the license.  Anytime you intend to reformat your hard drive or change to a new computer,  you must perform a special de-registration process to remove the serial number from this computer before being issued a new code for a different computer.  If you have two computers, for example, a laptop and a desktop, we do allow two (2) installs per purchase.  But if you intend to permanently stop using a particular computer or drive, be sure to contact us BEFORE formatting so we can help you un-license the old computer or drive.
1. Register and Activate the G1000 Panel
In some cases, this step's registration and activation program will start automatically when the installation program is complete.  If it does not start automatically, you can launch it manually by clicking on the following items in the Windows "Start" menu:

NOTE: We will attempt to reply to you as quickly as possible with a serial number and license key number that will activate your G1000 panel for Microsoft Flight Simulator.  We attempt to respond to manual registrations as quickly as possible, usually within 15-20 minutes.  But please be advised that in some cases, a response may take up to 24 hours.

 

E) When you receive the email containing your serial number and license key, return to the registration and activation program.   If it's not already launched, you can find it in the Windows start menu in:


    > All Programs
