How can I recover the product key for my copy of X-Plane 11?

Question

Long story short, I moved away for university and either before I left or after I left, I ended up losing my boxed copy of X-Plane. I still have X-Plane installed on my computer but I as you can see, I don't have any of the installation DVD's remaining, nor do I have the product key. Is there any way I could recover the product key so that I could at least re-download X-Plane if required?

Answer 1

Hi Nikolai,

I am not with Laminar Research; just a flight simmer.

The sad answer is that there is not a product key with a boxed set  Disc 1 has to be installed in the drive at all times for x-plane to run.

If you purchased the boxed set from a third party other than Laminar Research then the so called "key" was a promotional number to entice you to purchase additional products from the reseller or its agents.

If the boxed set was purchased directly from Laminar Research then you are asking your original question in the wrong place.  You need to contact Laminar for starters at info@x-plane.com  but before you do you need to assemble full details of the purchase ie when, how purchased any receipt numbers etc 

Good luck otherwise you will be looking towards the full purchase of a digital version.
