I am strongly considering purchasing a MX-450. However, I am not 100% sure whether or not I need my local installer to perform firmware updates and to create archives. If that is the case, the remote will definitely be removed from my list.

I am able to download the archiver software from URC's webpage and it looks as though it downloads updates.

Is there something that only dealers can do? It appears that the end user can now do everything. Am I correct? If so, when was this restriction lifted?

Thanks.
