Explanation of the Ultimate 757 Install Process

EXPLANATION OF THE INITIAL INSTALLATION PROCESS
The first thing to note during the installation process is that you are required to enter a Serial Number in order for the extraction process to begin. Please reference the Serial Number supplied on your Order Receipt! This is checked against our system to ensure a correct Valid number is entered. We strongly recommend copying and pasting the serial number to make things easier. We understand this is not possible for our Boxed Customers, so please ensure that any digits that looks like the letter "O" are the NUMBER "0".
This is the most common reason for receiving the following error message:
eSellerate ERROR-25001 Serial Number Not Found

Once you Valid serial number is entered, the install process continues. The Ultimate 757 Collection relies heavily upon a Third Party Add-ON Manager developed by Virtuali. The Add-On Manager is the same program that FS Scenery Developers FS Dreamteam and Flightbeam use.

When you run the product installer, after installing the core files...an attempt will be made to download the latest Master Gauge files and the latest Add-On Mananger by Virtuali. If your internet connection is not available, then a local copy of the gauge file will be installed (provided a newer version is NOT already installed on pc already).
What happens upon starting the Flight Simulator will differ slightly between FS9 and FSX.

FS9
When you first run the Flight Simulator after installation of the Ultimate 757, you will receive a prompt that states the following:
The product QualityWings - Ultimate 757 Collection is currently installed but not Active on this PC. Do you Want to ACTIVATE it now?

You MUST click yes in order to run the product!
Click YES again when it asks if you are sure.
If you had an Active internet connection, you should receive a message stating:
QualityWings - Ultimate 757 Collection has been successfully Activated on this PC

If you do not allow Activation by clicking No, or lose your net connection during the Activation Attempt - upon selecting any QualityWings 757 aircraft - YOUR SIM WILL CRASH!

FSX
Similar to the FS9 installation when you first run the Flight Simulator after installation of the Ultimate 757, you will receive a prompt that states the following:
The product QualityWings - Ultimate 757 Collection is currently installed but not Active on this PC. Do you Want to ACTIVATE it now?

The difference with FSX is that you will then see a couple of other prompts as part of FSX trusting system. You MUST select RUN for All prompts!! Failure to do so will result in the aircraft NOT loading and crashing to desktop when the QW aircraft is selected.
You may also be asked whether you want to trust these gauges in the futue. Click YES. Clicking No will result in a prompt on subsequent Simulator sessions.

REINSTALLATION
When reinstalling the Ultimate 757 on a PC that has not had any significant hardware changes, you should not have to re-enter your Serial Number. Additionally, you should not have to reactivate your software.
If you have made changes to your PC hardware, then you should receive the Activation prompt for the reinstall. Follow the steps as previously described. If you Activation Limit is reached, see below section on PRODUCT REACTIVATION.

PROBLEMS WITH INSTALLATION
If for some reason the simulator does not prompt you for Activation, it usually means that there is a problem with the Add-On Manager installation.
