Dear Furuno support team and enthusiasts,

I have and MFD12 (Master) and MFD8 (Slave) and for practical reasons, i would like the MFD8 to become the master. All maps are installed on both, i wonder what is the procedure and if the SI number will change in the process ?

thanks
 
Once a master is chosen it can not be changed unless they unit has been determined that it is condemned by the factory service center. If a unit becomes condemned, the chart licenses can be moved to a replacement. If the condemned unit ever becomes "magically" serviceable, it would never be able to have charts purchased for it; ever. It would be condemned in the chart licensing system. Pick your master wisely. Once charts are purchased it hold the license for the boat. If units are sold, the licenses go with the master unit.
