After the unlocking, I still get the warning in MapSource 6.13.7:

Product Restrictions
Certain limitations are placed on Topo Great Britain v2 due to licensing restrictions. These are:
- No map printing
- Reduced map window for detailed viewing

Does anybody have an answer to solve this problem?

This is in the registry:

When you click "ok" in the warning box does Topo work ok? because this is normal,even on Garmin supplied versions of Topo with a code supplied from them.

No, There is only a box, about half of the screen size, where the topo is displayed correctly. In the rest of the screen the topo is hidden, only main roads are displayed there.

Do you have any of the tool bars or menus visible so you can zoom in?

Zooming works correctly, but the box in the centre of the screen remains. What is presented there is zoomed, but the size of the box remains half the screen size.
In the mean time I discovered that the content of TOPOGB2.tdb (125 KB) causes the problem. I had an old version of Topo Great Britain and I used the old PRODUCT.tdb (41 KB) by copying it to the TOPOGB2 folder and renaming it to TOPOGB2.tdb
Now the problem is over and everything seems to work correctly (I didn't test it extensively).
I also removed [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Garmin\MapSource\Families\TOPO Great Britain v2\1\Logos] and all its subdirectories from the registry. Now the osgb.gif image isn't displayed at start-up of the Topo Great Britain.

The trick with the older product tdb works in older versions of mapsource like 6.13.7 but not in the newer versions like 6.15.6. Here it leads to an error and shuts down mapsource.

That's correct. I forgot to mention it. I always work with MapSource 6.13.7, since all my maps work correctly with that MapSource version.
