BCM400 3.7 Upgrade to 4.0 What is needed 1

[Sparkie37]

My customer currently has a BCM400 with 3.7 software and wants to upgrade to 4.0. At the same time they would like to replace their current hard drive. What software components will I require?

A keycode upgrade and CD-Roms for a start. You may have trouble obtaining them now or be forced to upgrade to a 450.
I use Acronis and have imaged a 3.7 and 4.0 onto a 20 Gig IDC dick without any problems.

If it's working, then leave it alone!.

Thanks mate. I realize - why stop at 4.0! It is the customer's decision - and they pay the bills.

The BCM is going to be killed off early next year, so I supposed it would be easier to stick with 4.0 unless you needed to use some of the newer features such as follow me etc.

I've taken a scout around today and it looks as if the keycode upgrade from 3.6/3.7 is going to be hard to obtain now?. I looked at a site in the UK and I'm unable to find any BCM upgrades.
