Ah. The 89B and 94 have removable front-loaded cards with a s/n you
give to the website before downloading. Those cards can be moved from
unit to unit without problem, but with the bizarre file format and the
file/card SN check you can't duplicate the files from the cards to
another card. I presume the same check that prevents the file from
being written to the incorrect card is run on the unit S/N for those
with internal NVRAM.

I guess I mispoke. When I update the gps on the KLN90B, it is a serial port
connection to internal memory on the unit. It does not use a removable card
and the serial# has to be given before the download. I assume it prevents
using their GPSLOADER software download on an other unit with internal
memory.

I haven't used cards on a King unit. I have copied Jepp cards for the
Garmins and they do work as a proof of concept.

King ties the Jepp update to the gps unit serial# on at least the older
units during the actual download so it won't function even if copied.

King ties the Jepp update to the card serial# - you can move a card
from box to box all day long, but you can't install the update on
multiple cards.
