You've bought an FS2002 beta copy which are deliberately time limited to stop them being sellable (normally).

Where ever you got it from, I'd suggest going back (with a big stick) and getting your money back.

tipster he cant because the place shut down apparently perhaps emailing microsoft with as much detail as possible would work, who you bought it off of(doesnt matter that they shut down) when you bought it, and so on.

Incidentally, you've missed out on loads using that version. The graphics weren't fully enabled until the gold release meaning you've been looking at a very poor facsimile of what the game normally looks like. Not to mention als having all the pre-gold bugs still present.

Sorry - missed that bit.

Yes, I'd say that contacting Microsoft is a good idea. If you can supply sufficient information, they may take pity and replace it.

Not surprising they shut down by the sounds of it...
