Hello all, I acquired some new replacement cards, a EVMC and matching CPC came with it. I'm not sure what version or if it's password protected.

I have a Axxess V5.3 CPU128 system running right now and wanted to see if I could potentially upgrade my database with what I have recently acquired.

Just to test the card and see if I could get into the DB Programming, I turned off my system, took all the cards out, installed the new cards and booted the system back up with just the new CPC and EVMC. However I was unable to connect with the DB Studio to see if it was password protected or still had licensing on it.

All that kept happening was the LEDs on the CPC kept going up and down in a sequence and then the CPC would reboot. I know I am connected to the RS232 port because I checked the boot sequence with Hyperterminal. The CPC indeed just keeps resetting after it goes through some system checks.

Any ideas? Is this card factory reset and can't be used without the software/licensing backup?
