I would like to know how the FirePower addon for CFS3 is installed before I purchase it.

I would like to purchase the FirePower addon for CFS 3, however, before I purchase it, I would like to know how it will be given to me, as I need to know if it is a CD-ROM that will get shipped to me, or if it is a digital download containing anti piracy measures.

I swear I am not going to upload it anywhere, it’s just that basically all of the things requiring key files and/or online activation has never worked for me in the past, because Windows XP and Vista (my computer is too underpowered for any newer OS) are unable to visit the activation servers, because of SSL problems.

How will this product get shipped to me, and what steps are necessary to install and if necessary, activate this product?

It's a digital download. I do not know if it is password/encryption key protected but I doubt it is. My experience with A2A's FSX and P3D expansions is when you download the executable installers they are immediately ready for use.

Do you have a copy of CFS3 up and running? Remember, FirePower is an expansion not a stand-alone product.

Hello,

the Firepower software is a digital download it will require an internet connection to download the software and update. From a tech pov I would highly recommend not being online on an old XP system it is extremely venerable to attack and hasn't been officially support for quite some time now.

thanks,
