Hi Audyauser, Sorry I have never heard of anything like this before. Other than your distributor or Ketron re-initialising the update I don't know of another solution.

Hi Robbo, so does the hard drive come with the 2011 update preinstalled? Its only a temporary fix though as any usb updates installed on your old drive will be rendered useless by the swap. I do agree copy protection is a necessary evil - if only manufacturers did not have to do it. Ketron do supply re-install disks if required (but does not not including the 2011 update). We carry the system restore disks in stock here in the UK and also offer a service to do it for the customer.

In my country doesn't exist anybody (ketron distributer or other) who can reinstall or re-initialising pen drive or ketron hard disc !

Support from Ketron distributer is zero in my country !

That is so sad !

Hi Twd,

Yes it included the 2011 update, and i was able to clone the disk as a safety keepsake if needed. It is still though relied on the serial number of my Audya to operate correctly, hence the copy protection built in. So the pen drives? Don't understand why if the Audya serial imprint is on them once used, why you cant use them as many times as you want on your Audya?.

Also i am pleased you have the restore disks, my dealer (the only one in Australia) does not, and did not know about them, so it appears the good news to dealers has not reached us.

I am extremely happy with AJ's drive, and i'm very much looking forward to an update version coming soon from AJ as well

Btw, I still waiting for answer and my pen drive to reset it !

I don't understand why Ketron don't ask your distributer and official presentators for people who making styles for Audya and who can offer their knowledge of audya to other people who want to buy audya !!?

where did you buy your audya and pendrive from audyauser?

I bought my audya and pen drive from my local dealer in Croatia !

Hi,

the ( copy-protected-) sticks don´t use the AUDYAs serial number ( I´m quite sure that they don´t have one except on the serialnumber plate ), they use the serialnumber of the harddisk !

If they would use a "AUDYA-device related serialnumber" then everything would work with cloned harddisks...
