  5. The entire process takes just a few minutes to complete and does not require any technical skills.
  6. Please note this will only install lifetime FSC code for your current region and not change your Map region.
  7. If you require help our technician can help via Live Chat on our website or connect remotely to your laptop through AnyDesk and complete the process.
  8. Once the LifeTime Code has been installed you can update your maps using a USB and in future keep them current by  simply purchasing the Map Data at $20 (activation code will no longer be needed).
