• To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:

    Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.

    If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.

    To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.

    The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.

    For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).

    This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

About 1 year ago we purchased a KPG-D7 license from Kenwood and used it to program a NXR-1800 last summer.
Yesterday I needed to add a PL to the repeater and the program tells me it is not authenticated.
The license has not been moved to another computer. We found the original JKEFS file and tried to re-add it to the LMC for re-installation but it would not transfer to the program via drag & drop.
Before I call Kenwood I would like to know if this has happened to anyone here and how was it resolved

if it wont drag and drop open it with notepad and copy the key to the license enter screen manually (aka copy paste). second thing have you done any hardware changes to the computer if not that should load. the other thing is make sure you are not running windows 7 and are update on 300lmc (2.01 ish is latest) let me know if that helps
