Another very useful feature, then. I can't help wondering why the docking station needs to read the serial number, and if it has to for some reason (some sort of event logging, perhaps), why the problem described can't be overcome by re-entering the number, or something relatively straight forward like that.

What use is all this "clever" stuff? frown

(apart from generating after-sales revenue, that is)

If you don't inspect ... don't expect.
