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.

    I figured it out, in my case the problem was BitDefender firewall. As soon as I turned it off, no more asking for disk and it just installed. Works now.

    For the 10 dvd version its mendatory to insert the disk 1 for each launch!

    you can create an iso from your disk and use the iso instead. 

    it was confirmed by the editor that for the physical version its mendatory to insert the disk each time...

    That's a bit rubbish, its linked to your Microsoft account for security...

    Makes no sense to me 😔

    Exactly... i thought it was a bug but no:

    Indeed, this is stupid.. especially when disk doesnt event have any securitity - given that iso's work.

    Maybe we can get a petition going with objective reasoning why this should be removed, I think this battle is possible to win.

    When i bought this copy, i mostly wanted the book, never do i expected to use disk it self. And my old dusty dvd reader is no longer working just from sitting and doing nothing :(

    I think creating an ISO is the way to go.

    Could you let me know how to do that? I did that for FSX a long time ago but don't remember how it's done. Your help would be very much appreciated.

    I've solved the very same issue just by launching FS2020 on my PC ..."as an Admin"

    (Right click on the Game Icon)

    Hope this helps !
