Dale H Posted June 21, 2014 Report Posted June 21, 2014 I have been looking at images of this amazing product for some time while considering purchase. I notice in many pictures the clouds appear preternaturally homogeneously white. But then in some there is indeed what appears to be a silver lining. What's up with that? If I buy the product and have more than one copy of x-plane can I install the product in each copy without exceeding the activation limit? Great product! Thanks, Quote
Ben Russell Posted June 21, 2014 Report Posted June 21, 2014 By default you receive three hardware keys per purchase, this can be extended on a case by case basis by contacting X-Aviation. Quote
Dale H Posted July 12, 2014 Author Report Posted July 12, 2014 Ok, bought SkyMaxx and love the product. Have a new computer and was setting up XP when I ran into some conflicts and I deleted my Preferences contents and rebuilt the folder on XP start-up to resolve my issues. When I did I had to sign in again to X-Aviation and SkyMaxx. Does this mean I have just used one of my hardware keys? If I duplicate my XP folder and delete Preferences again will I use up another? Thanks, Quote
Ben Russell Posted July 12, 2014 Report Posted July 12, 2014 Generally no. Machine ID's only change with something like an OS re-install. The machine ID is displayed in the activation dialog, make a note of it if you like. The X-A license database is also stored in the Prefs folder (admittedly a mistake on my part, people still delete the entire contents quite frequently) and can be saved and restored too. Quote
Dale H Posted July 12, 2014 Author Report Posted July 12, 2014 Ben, Thanks. I am having serious issues with a new install of XP on my new machine and I think it would be best if I either deleted my XP folder and reinstall or installed a new one. I will save the X-Aviation License Database.lua and reuse it. Good to know. What to do with the X-Aviation folder also? Thanks, Quote
Dale H Posted July 12, 2014 Author Report Posted July 12, 2014 And can I just copy and move the Silver Linings folder in my plug ins? Or maybe the best way to ask is what do I do if I do a fresh install of XP to get SkyMaxx up and going. Thanks, Quote

I don't know the inner workings of SilverLining and what it does with X-Plane resource files. Quote
Dale H Posted July 12, 2014 Author Report Posted July 12, 2014 Ok, thanks. Do I just run SkyMaxx installer again with new install? Quote
