Can I use my current XP11 key on steam or trade to get a steam key

Question

With the steam version out I would prefer to use that version over the nonsteam version but it's not worth buying a new copy over. Thanks

Comments

I would really like an answer to this one too. I purchased x-plane 11 a couple of months ago, and wish i had held out for the steam version. Is it possible to change our activation key for a steam key?

For X-Plane Steam you cannot use your product key from X-Plane Digital Download.

So to get X Plane 11 I have to go to Steam? But it says "

• Steam requires an internet connection and log in each time you run X-Plane in the future." 

I don't want to have to be on line to run X Plane, how can I avoid this?

try running steam in offline mode....but I imagine, if it says you have to be online to run x-plane....you will have to be online. Steam has its good points, and plenty of bad ones too :(

@ScruffyBaton4 and can I buy box version of the game and use CD key to activate it on steam?

You can buy X-Plane Steam or X-Plane Digital Download. These are separated products, so you cannot activate Digital Download on Steam. Steam requires an internet connection and log in each time you run X-Plane in the future. When you purchase the Digital Download edition, you will receive an email confirmation with your product key. This key will allow you to download, install, and use X-Plane 11 without needing any other products (like Steam).

Thanks ScruffyBaton4. I was rather thinking about this particular one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Flight-Simulator-X-Plane-11-Mac/dp/B01M4HI6GF/ref=sr_1_1 which is neither Steam nor digital download, hence my question

Cheers,

You can also check X-Plane 11 DVD Set.

Yes, indeed!

Only the question remains if it is possible to activate the game on steam if I have a DVD version. Hope it makes sense?

 

Cheers,

You cannot activate DVD Edition on Steam. The activation key is on first DVD disc.
