8.Remove the memory stick from the 8000i master unit and take it to an authorized dealer.

9.The dealer will load the license code file onto your memory stick.

10.Insert the memory stick into the 8000i master unit.

11.You're now ready to load the license codes and unlock the chart collections. See "Load the chart licenses".

5.11Load the chart licenses

This works only when the dongle with the license code file is connected to the 8000i master unit.

To load the chart licenses:

1.Select Display, then Setup.

2.Select + Chart, then C-Map Chart Manager.

3.When you're in the C-MAP PRO Chart Manager, select Purchase Licenses then select Collections to Purchase.

4.Select Load Licenses. The Chart Manager displays a message "License File ... is found - would you like to process it?" Select Yes to confirm.

5.The Chart Manager displays another message. Select Yes again to install the chart collections.

5.12Install the chart data

When you've purchased your chart collection licenses and any subscriptions, all the license code information for those charts is uploaded onto your C-Map Chart Master Key.

You must install the charts on the display unit that is set up as the 8000i master unit. Any other display units can access the chart collections when the 8000i master unit is On.

If the 8000i master unit is not Off, the chart collections cannot be accessed and a gray screen shows the message "Master Unavailable".

To install the charts means to register the data that you have purchased on the hard disk database (indicated by the licensed collections(s) on your Chart License Key) so that you can work with charts of the collection.

You can only install the collections you have licenses to in your dongle. Even if you have more than one dongle with licenses to different chart collections, you can only use one of the keys at a time.

You are strongly recommended to scan all removable media (such as CDs) for viruses or corrupt data on a separate device BEFORE connecting or using the removable media with the 8000i System.
