FAQ
Questions.
Does my codeMeter update itself?
Yes. It checks every 6 hours while plugged in and on Wi-Fi, and installs new firmware by itself, free.
Do I need to turn on new features?
Most appear by themselves. Two Claude accounts is a setup choice: hold B about 7 seconds and pick 2 Claude accounts.
What if an update goes wrong?
If it fails to start, the device rolls back to the previous version. A USB recovery page is at bricekevin.github.io/fw.
Is there a subscription?
No. You buy the device once. Firmware updates are free and install themselves over Wi-Fi; if an update ever fails to start, it rolls back to the previous version.
