Wrong authorization message - no solutions working

[CCIP]

Hi folks,

After reinstalling FS9 on my new computer, with FSPassengers included, I keep getting "wrong authorization" messages - not every flight, but perhaps every other flight.
I've looked at the FAQ and I have also tried all solutions suggested in this thread: http://www.fspassengers.com/forum/showth...p?tid=8414 (including waiting
24 hours before reinstalling, and making sure the program was running as admin). After 3 attempts to reinstall, nothing still seems to work. I did use the site contact form to
forward my purchase info just in case, but still have not heard back. Any way to get in touch about my registration that is more reliable?

I've had FSPax since 2006 and bought it from simmarket at the time. It's an essential add-on to me so I'd REALLY like to be able to get it working!

Thanks,
-George

A couple of months ago I reinstalled FsP into three separate FS9 installations on a new computer. Actually I initially just copied the three FsP installations to preserve my
assorted careers but that failed to work. So I reinstalled into each of my FS9 versions using the original unlock code and that did work but I saw much the same sorts of
intermittent and unpredictable "Wrong Authorization" errors in FsP that you're seeing. Nothing seemed to work.

Fast forward a week or so and after I bought an unrelated game that gave no end of problems installing into Win-7. One of the tech support recommendations was doing a
comprehensive registry cleaning using a utility like CC Cleaner, something that I had always shied away from doing for fear of mucking things up. Long story short, after
doing this I noticed that the authorization errors had ceased entirely. The problem is that I am unsure if this is coincidental or causal to the registry cleaning; all I can say
for certain is that the problem existed before cleaning the registry but has apparently vanished sometime after for whatever reasons.

So now I have three, fully functioning and independent FsP installations for FS9 ( with all my old data and although many of the *.rtf flight reports failed to survive the data
transfer, the statistics did.

So take this for what it's worth, perhaps nothing but good luck.

Good thought, I'll give it a try! Thank you very much for the suggestion.

Actually I did the same thing as far as copying my installations at first (and I also have 3 separate FS9 installations, funny enough), but then tried going the clean route. Hopefully it helps - it may well be it. I'm completely certain that it's something in the authorization mechanism rather than my files since I never had issues with transfers before, and the only things I'd copied over anyway were the database files, my customized payload files, and a couple of sound folders, so it shouldn't have been the folder protection I think. I could even live without the career transfers to be honest (since I mostly use FSPax to plug into my VA's reporting system), but it doesn't seem like what's in the FSPax folders actually matters.

Also with this last attempt, it seems like my authorization aborts have become constant (every flight right after takeoff instead of every other flight like before).
