Obtaining An S-63 Mfd Activation File - Raymarine LIGHTHOUSE 4 Operation Instructions Manual

Important:
• The memory card that the charts are installed on must be present in the
MFD's card reader for the installed charts to be used.
• After installation, it is recommended that the memory cards containing
the base cells and cumulative updates are kept onboard your vessel so
that if the need arises they can be reinstalled easily.

Obtaining an S-63 MFD activation file

An S-63 MFD activation file must be installed on your MFD to display and
enable the use of S-63 Encrypted Charts on your MFD. Without the S-63
MFD activation file installed S-63 chart selection and related settings will
not be available.
Note:
An S-63 MFD activation file will be required for each MFD you want to
be able to view S-63 encrypted charts on. S-63 encrypted charts are not
shared with other MFD's on the same network.
1. Identify your MFD's product name, product number and serial number.
The required information can be found on the [Getting started] settings
menu and the Network settings menu:[Homescreen > Settings > Getting
started.], [Homescreen > Settings > Network] or from the physical product
label.

You will be sent an S-63 MFD activation file specific for your MFD.
3. Copy the received file to a blank / empty MicroSD card.
4. Insert the MicroSD card into the memory card reader slot of your MFD.
After a few seconds the MFD will detect and install the file. A notification
is displayed onscreen when the installation is completed successfully.
The MFD will now be able to select S–63 Encrypted Charts and display them
in the Chart app. Related settings will also be available.
Scheme administrator certificate
S-63 Encrypted Charts require a valid scheme administrator (SA) certificate.
A current SA certificate is provided with the LightHouse™ 3 and LightHouse™
4operating systems. Access to the SA certificate is provided when the S-63
MFD activation file is installed on your MFD.
The installed SA certificate is valid for a predetermined period of time after
which it will expire. It is also possible for the IHO to issue a new certificate
for security reasons.
