Thread: Transfer purchase Garmin voices to new device

I bought the SpongeBob voice from Garmin a while back which was downloaded to my device from Garmin. My kids love this when we go on trips.

I purchased a newer model and asked Garmin how to transfer the voice from the old device to the new one before deleting it and selling the old one.

The answer was simple: Unfortunately this is not possible. When downloading the voice you are associating this to one device and an unlock code is generated which cannot be transferred over. This is due to the terms and conditions which allow software to be used on one device. We do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Any knows of a way to accomplish this as after all I paid for the voice and want o transfer it so it will still be used on one device only.

There is a SpongBob.vpm SpongBob.unl and SpongBob.gma file on my device

probably you can get it with an hex editor-
the unit id is in device.xlm or in tools/settings/system/info, but it depends on devices-

No help here. Thanks anyway.

Is it not in your header? Not enough big?

If he's using an ad blocker he may in fact not be seeing it. However, that is no excuse for him to be lazy. Your signature as well as the signatures of others on the forum clearly mention the new requirements to see links. If he had used the search engine the site has he would have found the thread where you mention the new plugin.

You can't please everybody. Even when you provide a solution that makes things easier on them, people like this guy choose to bitch and whine. Perhaps if he actually read the forum he'd know about the Like button. But, that requires patience from people who think they're entitled to things without earning them.

This window above is part of Noeman forum header and is not dismissible, it shows untill members dont have 10 posts.
It's not ads and I dont think any adblock can hide it, I made some tests when we activated it to avoid a bunch of posts like the one above.
