I have the DMR Upgrade Key Code for my BCD996P2. What do I do next ? How do I enter the Key Code ? Does it get entered into the scanner itself ? or the Programming Software ?

You enter it into the scanner using the big knob as I recall. You also need to enter the - as well.
You will need the latest firmware update to the radio, if you do not have the latest firmware you may not find the DMR menu.
I did not see info specific to the 996P2, but see this for the 436/536, overall procedure is pretty much the same - DigitalMobileRadioUpgrade < UnidenMan4 <

I downloaded the free Sentinel software. Should I send the ARC-XT Pro Software back ? or do I still need it ? Also thanks for your help.
was told to go to: Menu, then Settings, then Upgrade, then Upgrade DMR. There is no "Upgrade" or "Upgrade DMR" on the Menu selections. I was told to download the Sentinel software because the Scanner"s Firmware has to be updated from 1.05.02 to 1.07.06 for the Upgrade to work or the Key Code will not work.
Now I have a new problem: The Instructions tell me to: (1) On the scanner press Menu. (2) Select Settings --> Upgrades, then press E. (3) Scroll to DMR/MotoTRBO or ProVoice, then press E. (4) Using the scroll knob to Select each digit and the 4 and 6 keys to move left or right, enter each digit in the unlock Key. After each group of Digits, then press E. I have no Upgrades option on my Settings option on the menu. What I am doing wrong ?
You have not updated the firmware to the version needed for DMR & ProVoice support.Now I have a new problem: The Instructions tell me to: (1) On the scanner press Menu.

I downloaded the BC_VUP3 software and opened the setup.exe file and got the following message: An error occurred attempting to install BC_VUP3. Next ?
