I don't think anyone has had to deal with it yet - it's a brand new process that only affects their newest released product lines.
They already have such a shrinking market share - I think it's absolutely idiotic. Not many people are installing these whole house systems anymore, and there are other choices like RTI, Nuvo, Niles, Crestron... I think they make a great product and I get why companies are doing this - to keep internet sales down to protect the market share for their pro customers - but even pros aren't going to like having to have every employee sign up individually and "unlock" the device against their logon ID. We'll see what happens in time.
