Troubleshooting Guide – StarFire™ License Requirements
Over-The-Air Broadcast
The StarFire license is broadcast at the scheduled time and 5 minutes later as a backup.
To ensure reception, turn on the receiver before the specified broadcast time. Do not turn off
the receiver until verifying that the license is saved.
The receiver must be tracking StarFire satellites at the broadcast times, though the receiver
is not required to be operating in StarFire mode during the broadcasts.
To retrieve the digital serial number from the receiver with a terminal program like HyperTerminal, follow these
steps:
 At the command line, enter [MSGPRODUCTINFO]
 The receiver will respond with:
[MSGPRODUCTINFO]SF-3050M,12345,1
The response shows the product type, digital serial number, and system revision number
SF-2110, SF-2040 and SF-2050 GPS Receivers
Required information:
 Unit serial number, located on the bottom panel
of the SF-2040 and rear panel of the SF-2110
and SF-2050
 LBM digital serial number, located in hex data
record D1
Renewal licenses are supplied by email and must be manually loaded to the receiver.
To retrieve the hex data record D1 from the receiver with StarUtil, follow these steps:
 View → D1 - LBM License Status
o Click Retrieve in the lower right-hand corner
o The LBM serial number is located at the top of the window
o If the end-user is unable to retrieve the serial number, StarUtil must establish communication
to receiver’s control port
