As of today, you will need to register your license key to your forum profile in order to be able to post.
This new rule has been applied as an anti-spam measure due to our forum being flooded by spambots.
Any ShipSim license key will enable your posting rights.
You can register a license key by clicking on "Profile" at the top of the page. On your profile page, scroll down and you will find the license registration box. Enter or paste your license key within here (make sure no spaces are selected when copying) and click on "register". Your license key is now visible as registered below the input box.
If you are unable to register your license key, please contact ShipSim support here:
