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?

Even a CPC without licensing should boot up and be stable. It'll just wait
for you to upload its license file before any call processing will happen. You can still program it with DB Studio though.

You should be able to get some debugging (very low level! programmer level) interactive shell out of the CPC as well. You should see the version flashed onto the CPC through the serial console during boot.

It is possible the Flash is corrupt and you can reflash it with the flash util off the CD-ROM. But to me, sounds like the CPC is toast.
