 grandMA Series - IMPORTANT INFORMATION!  
GRANDMA SERIES CONSOLE UPDATES

VERY IMPORTANT!!!
Software older than 5.63 must be updated to 5.697 then 5.761 then 5.821 then 5.902 and finally update to 6.xx!
Failure to follow this path or direct updates from lower numbers can corrupt your console's hard drive!


ATTENTION - Important update procedure for version 6.xx and above
Due to an invalid software backup file since version 5.9x, you need to update your console in a certain way:
Please update to version 6.1 onPC and update the console. Repeat this once. After updating your console twice with the same version you will have created a new backup file. For best memory usage and performance - it is recommended to clean up older software versions and shows in the utility menu from time to time and keep only 2-3 of the most recent or important versions.

The problem with the invalid backup file only occurs if you try to "down-date" your console or if you try to update from console to console.
If there are any questions left, do not hesistate to contact your local dealer or our tech support.

New Naming Convention for MA Software:  Productname_[Streaming gMA2][Streaming gMA1]_Version
The important information are the numbers in the brackets. These must fit together to get the software connecting to each other on the network as well as to interchange showfiles.

 grandMA full-size, light, ultra-light, micro, pico, nsp, 2-port & replay unit.
