Yes. And this is part of why the cost quoted to many has dropped a little. On that note, I now require the Motorola Channel Partner to regionalism them, North america and English language, before we pay for them and accept them for programming.
Even registering some Entitlement ID's has been a problem in the past, when servers are locked up and corporate/municipal firewalls keep mucking up the network connections.
Motorola sellers can do this for you, so you do not brick a radio that you have already paid for.
