Hello,

We have an HDX-8000 and I need to upgrade the software. I went to the licensing page and it shows all the versions but they all say "Available but not entitled" My unit was installed 11-7-2012.  The sortware is currently  3.0.4-20259

 

Do we have to buy each upgrade?  Never had one of these before so don't know the process.

 

Thanks so much!

 

John

Jun 23,2014 Question: Am I entitled to a software upgrade?

Answer: A Software update to the same Version number but a higher revision is usually free. A upgrade to the next version number (example 2.x to 3.x) requires the codec to be in warranty or a valid service contract.

 

In your case you can upgrade to any software 3.0.x that you can download but In order to upgrade to 3.1.x or any future 3.x.x software the above is relevant.

Please ensure to provide some feedback if this reply has helped you so other users can profit from your experience.

Hello,

We have several VSX7000 units installed on the University of Sussex campus.

 

Due to a network issue recently we attempted to swap to RS232 control on a unit in a high profile lecture theatre, but It seems the firmware version on the unit (3.0.1-10628) does not allow RS232 control.

 

We have a second box in a similar theatre with firmware 3.0.2.1-17007 which does allow 232 control. but the control selection setting does not stick through a  power cycle. (a known fault I believe)

 

Consequently we need to perform a firmware upgade on these boxes. On following the procedure outlined in this thread we get the key showing as "available but not entitled".

 

Is there a way to do this? We deal with multiple hardware suppliers and none (so far) charge for firmware updates (this is all we need) to make their products perform at their best. I would have though it was to your advantage for this to be the case!

 

Help!

Answer: A Software update to the same Version number but a higher revision is usually free. A upgrade to the next version number (example 2.x to 3.x) requires the codec to be in warranty or a valid service contract.

 

In your case I would assume that you only have software 2.6 so to upgrade to any software 3.x.x you most likely will have to purchase a service contract.

 

This is what I found:

 

Serial No:880941103740CG
