The information posted is quite old, several years old in fact. When was the last time you bought a Garmin device with MapSource software and an unlock code printed on a piece of yellow paper?
Maybe it varies in other parts of the world, but in AU it's now only a temporary problem if you wish to register the unit with Garmin and it's still registered to someone else's account. If you don't care about registration, you can update everything normally including LM, without question. If you do wish to register in your name, open an account and Garmin will assist by trying to contact the previous owner. If unsuccessful in contacting him/her, or if they don't respond then Garmin will register it to you anyway.
