BCD436HP/BCD536HP: DMR Key

[rangers38]

I purchased the DMR key upgrade from Uniden a couple years ago.
I programmed the key into a SDS200 and BCD536HP with no issues. I purchased a used 536HP recently and can’t program the key. Comes up as incorrect number. Is there a reason for this?

Upgrade keys are unique to the scanner's Electronic Serial Number (ESN), non transferrable. You'll need to purchase a new key

I am pretty sure I programmed two units with the same key a while back. I don’t remember purchasing the upgrade key twice, but could be wrong

Yes, you (although quoted as me ) are mistaken

The key's are generated by an algorithim off the electronic serial number... Unique to each radio...
A key generated for one radio will not work on another radio... Different ESN...

DMR/NXDN/ProVoice keys are unique to a scanner's serial number and 3 digit hex. Once used on 1 scanner it is spent. Each scanner has it's own unique serial number and hex. It is impossible to re-use a upgrade key.

If you registered your scanners and purchased the previous upgrade keys yourself at my.uniden.com, go back to that website..... log in, click on "all my scanners", and you will see your key purchases, and the actual digital keys there (one for each scanner).
