When I start up the game it tells me to press any button to start. I press a button and then it tells me to insert the disk and press continue. I don't have a disk because I purchased the premium Deluxe Edition online it's bought-and-paid-for it says the game is installed but everytime I press continue it just pops up again please insert disc.

    Hi there!

    I have been suffering from the same issue, except that I have installed the game via Game Pass. My problem has been solved by the simple step of re-login. The Game Pass store forgot my ownership of the Game Pass. After logging out and logging in again, I was able to launch and play the game successfully. Hope this will help for those, who will visit this post in the future.

    Best wishes!

    I had the problem when I used the anti virus program Bitdefender and used the program to clean up files and somehow it erased certain programs in Microsoft flight simulator 2020. Also the important digital rights program.  I deleted the hole simulator and downloaded it from the windows store which from I made my original purchase from.  when I opened up the program it still had the same problem of not downloading the digital ownership program from the windows store and gave me no option to download only to purchase the sim over again, but that did not seem right.  So I reset my windows 10 installation to see weather that was the cause of the problem. Only to discover that did not solve it.  but I did not think about that I needed to download it from the the Xbox app for windows 10, then I downloaded the Xbox app and registered with my account for that app and and downloaded the sim and the digital ownership also downloaded with no problems. Now all the updates are downloading as it should but does take sometime as it was.  Hope this helps somebody that has a similar problem and saves some time in dealing with it.

    All very well but where and how does one find the Digital Ownership File...? Is it on one of the discs?
