Mike,

the database is dated from November, I want a free updated
database


You should really start reading at least part of the literature coming
with the unit. It tells all about the copy protection in there, so
there is no "hard way" you found out - except for not RTFM. And it
tells about the free upgrade you're entitled to if your database is out
of date upon purchase.
