. This is not a requirement
for other NavCom receivers.
StarFire subscriptions can be purchased for quarterly,
biannual, or annual periods and are available via a
NavCom authorized representative, or by contacting
NavCom Sales Department .
An authorized subscription will provide an encrypted
keyword, which is specific to the Serial Number of the
NavCom receiver to be authorized. This is entered
into the receiver using the provided controller

For the SF-3050 receiver only, the initial StarFire

detailed above.
For the SF-3050 receiver only, subsequent renewals
of the license can be transmitted to the receiver via
