Can you order from an authorized online dealer? www.bluedo.com, www.surfremote.com, and www.proremotes.com are all authorized ones and you can get the software. Go over to the URC forum...3 people from those sites are there. They're pretty good with working out prices, and you can ask them about software updates. You'll get the software from all of them, and you can ask if they choose to provide you with updates. They're really great to do buisness with.
