To update to 4.3 you will need to have an already activated version of 4.2 which can be downloaded from here:

First uninstall P3D 4.2 client,content and scenery in Control panel .. when it asks if you would like to deactivate the product chose no or cancel.. Your P3D folder will remain, and all add ons will remain dont worry .. just the client, content and default scenery have been removed .. Restart pc, and run the new 4.3 installer and install to the same directory..
You can also delete all Lockheed Martin folders that contain configuration files from user/../appdata and c:/programdata .. I did, but it may not be necessary as you will lose scenery config and settings etc but I did just incase of potential conflict.
Enjoy =)
Edit: There's a link up for 4.3 on Rutracker now, I'm not sure if this has been cracked but i can only assume so.
