Topic: Downloads to the forum

[sonar2000]

I am having problems splitting a topic so I am creating a new topic and copying over the needed splits.
I am doing this as the original topic and the redirection question make the topic two different issues.

From Joe.Lee
Another question as I'm new to the forum, when will the download section have the most recent updates from humminbird?

I believe that it is up to the moderators on this forum. They do a great job and the latest updates are in the download section ASAP. Because this was such a much awaited update I would imagine it to be up fairly swiftly. You can register your unit on the HB website and download it from there.
humminbird.com and click on the support tab

OK, I checked and Robert has given me permissions to add software..
I added the 1197 and the 1198 is giving me some trouble. May be too big of a file. The 1197 is 3600kb and the 1198 is 27,000 kb. I will keep working on it..
 
I need to split this topic as it is a different subject than the original post.

Let me know of any problems.
I changed the release names from the long one to the more recognized short one.
Let me know if this works..

I haven't been able to register yet due to website issues (theirs) but I'm waiting for their response. When I get it I'll let you know.

Joe, thanks...
On the web site issue did you look at the suggestions below the registration screen about updating your browser?
There are three things to look at to get the new registragtion page to work

If you are signing in for the first time since February 3 2012, you will need to do the following:
 1.If you are using Internet Explorer, you will need to use version 8.0 or higher.  If you are unsure of the version you are using, click on Help in your browser tool bar.  Then click on About Internet Explorer.  This should pull up a window showing you the version number.  If you are below IE 8, you will need to visit  Microsoft's site to download a newer version. 
2.If you are using a different browser like Chrome or Firefox or have IE 8 or higher, please click on the forgot password link above to receive a temporary password.
3.Once you have received your temporary password, return to this page to login to your account.

Yes sir, mine concerns the date of purchase being rejected since I got it from a guy that won it as a door prize.

Joe, you might contact HB cust support and have them get you registered.
If a product is registered originally and sold/transfered to another user they can help you get it in your name.

I called customer support and was advised that you can register a unit that was previously owned and registered by someone else.

She did not know however what happens to the previous registration. If it stay or goes away.
But at least you can register a used unit or previously owned unit..

If there was any current warrenty it is voided. But you can still get software upgrades..
