Flight1.com Customer Service & Support


Please carefully read through these pages so that you go to the correct area to get help.

Important Flight1 Support Policies: All product specific technical support is handled via our web forum systems. We maintain a ticket system to deal primarily with ecommerce issues that the automated systems on our support page can't handle. These include problems with your order, website questions, or other issues related to your orders or Flight1 account. Our official hours of operation are regular business hours Monday through Friday (USA time), excluding holidays. Note about product .key files: Flight1 has officially ended support for .key files. If you are having issues with product keys, please use the account method to reinstall.

Some of our most common topics and troubleshooters...

Where do I locate my product serial number issued with my purchase?

If you were issued a serial number with your purchase, please use the Flight1 Agent to retrieve the serial number. Once you login to the Agent, go to the Library tab (you may have to change stores first using the button on the top right). Select the order, and you can view the serial number. Optionally (you can use this if your product is not in the Agent), select Settings, then the View All Flight1 Orders button. Select your product and you will see the serial number listed.p>

Key Files

Important: Flight1 has officially ended support for product keys. If you have a very old product where account reinstall is not available, then please make sure you have an account then contact Flight1.
