                      | Can somebody please assist me or send me the latest Firmware download link for my 500 Plus? I have sent GQ Electronics my valid serial number to receive a link for the latest Firmware download, but they do not respond to my Emails. My firmware is currently 2.19. Many thanks in advance. Greetings from Australia! |  |

                      | As far as I am aware, they manually generate firmware updates using your serial number, so I think only they will be able to provide you a link. They usually reply very fast so maybe it's just that the person working on these requests may be out of office. (My 500+ is on v2.22 at the moment.) |

                      | I also believe that firmware updates are only valid for one device and one serial number. it looks a bit like software protection by encryption with a diversified key. it's just speculation but there must be a reason like that.

 Thanks, hopefully they respond soon.
 
 I have sent them my valid serial number with my request.

 Thanks for your response. There was someone here in the forum who said he can send that. Maybe it’s someone from the company...

                      | then they are probably on vacation, the update file is an .exe which certainly requires a Windows PC to install it on GMC-500+. if you don't have one personally, you will probably have to borrow one.

 Fair enough. I just want the firmware update for my serial number. I will organize a windows computer. Hopefully they respond soon. Surprised they don’t offer a solution for Macs. Most of friends and colleagues here in Australia have MacS or iMacs.
