NavCom recommends that customers process new StarFire license requests through an
authorized dealer or NavCom Sales 15 to 30 days before the expiration of the current
license.
The customer selects the date and time in GMT for the Over the Air broadcast of the
StarFire License.
 The scheduled broadcast must occur at least 3 business days after a valid P.O. is
received by NavCom Sales.
 Specify broadcast date and time in GMT on the P.O.
 NavCom confirms the date & time of broadcast via email.
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.
Verify License Is Saved
There are two ways to view StarFire license data to verify that the license is saved:
 StarUtil 3000
 Sapphire Message SFLICENSEB (described in the Sapphire Technical Reference
Manual)
(Refer to Related Documents in the fore-matter.)
Verify this StarFire license data:
 The StarFire license is saved as one of these license types:

Primary StarFire License: Currently active license
OR

Secondary (Backup) StarFire License: Inactive license that becomes active at the
expiration of the Primary StarFire license
 Duration of the saved license and the valid areas of operation
For special-case scenarios, customers may request to receive the StarFire license via
email to manually upload via StarUtil 3000. The request must be specified in the P.O.

The broadcast procedure for Over the Air StarFire Licensing is subject to
change.
