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.

Ask the party you bought it from for the password?
Define try to "clone it" the subject said you're trying to read it. What exactly are you trying to do read it or clone another plug to it ?

that only works if he has the same firmware loaded on his computer
You can recover to whatever firmware you'd like. As long as the software update license is still valid on the device. If not, you'll be stuck to any firmware 2.10 or older.

But if he cant read it he wont know what verison of firmware it has to recover it.. If its too new or too old it wont work... and If its over 5 years old the software update is probably expired

NO not really, since it's a non-display subscriber there's no way other than reading it to know what firmware is in it, and to do a Device Recover you have to use the same version of Firmware. So you can guess starting with the Firmware Version that the Subscriber was released with and integrate from there till you find it, or as suggested return it.
MN006055A01-AM Chapter 1: Introduction to Customer Programming Software (CPS) 2.0
CPS 2.0 Device Menu -> Recover
Allows the user to revive a failed radio due to data corruption by rewriting a good firmware into the radio. The CPS 2.0 preserves the tuning block of the radio before recovery is initiated. See Recovering Radios on page 70.
Radio recovery allows the user to refresh the radio by writing the firmware files to the device along with the default codeplug. The user can use Recover to revive a failed radio because of data corruption or get the radio back to a default "out of box" state. Unlike Update, Recover allows the user to rewrite the same version of firmware that is already deployed in the target device. During the Recover operation, the Customer Programming Software (CPS) 2.0 preserves the tuning block of the radio before recovery is initiated but all user programmable fields are reset to their default values.
I could help if you need, just tell me what you need a training for.
