Communication with Creamware?

[andyr1960]

I feel awfull... After venting my spleen like I did, I've just recieved my OS authorisation key from Ralph... Thank you!!

...BTW... Why do you need an Authorisation Key for uploading the OS to the ASB??? Surely the update file is totally useless unless you have the hardware??

first of all it's a matter of simplicity - same procedure everywhere
this software simply does not exist without a key - it doesn't just look like SFP on the screen - it is SPF, in a frozen state, so to say.
If they did provide these files without keys, then someone could reverse the process and apply the same modifications to SFP devices. If you know the method for one item, you can apply it to all.

cheers, Tom
ps: this is my own reasoning, I don't claim it's the truth - but it's the only way that makes sense
