Idon't think you have to activate a scenery if all you need to do is add the .bgl files to the addon scenery\scenery folder.  You should see a 'building scenery' progress bar when you start FSX the first time you restart FSX after placing the .bgl into the folder.

An alternate method of installing a scenery addon that consists of only .bgl files is to create a folder, name it for the scenery, add a subfolder named "scenery", and put the .bgl files in that folder, then activate it like you would activate any other addon scenery like Fozzer's link explains.
