I tried updating my PowerFlarm to 6.42, expires in 11/19. It has 6.40 now, expires 2/19. It persistently does not update. The log file says it found the firmware file, confirmed its applicability, copies it to memory. But subsequently it comes up reporting 6.40, expiring 2/19. It also reports this to other things it talks to.

Anybody having this problem, and any suggestions?

There do seem to be some unexplained lines in the log:

Decides one file isn't applicable but another is?

I assume your flarmcfg.txt file is correct and came from the factory updater.
