License or registration question

[maxnew40]

I just bought a used JTV 69 from a local guy and it has the older firmware as he liked the strat sounds in the older firmware better. I bought it as a backup to my JTV 59.

 

My question is am I going to have any issues updating the firmware for this guitar? Does he have to unregister the guitar or anything before I attempt to update the firmware?

 

I asked him if he registered the guitar after he bought it and he said that he didn't think so. I asked him if he could go to his Line6 account and somehow indicate that he sold this instrument, but he seemed reluctant to do it and I think he probably won't do it.

Don't think it matters unless you were trying to get warranty work done, as you would probably run into trouble trying to register a serial # that's linked to someone else, but I don't think it applies to just doing a firmware update. You need to be logged in to download stuff, but I don't think it matters if the product is "registered" officially at all. I guarantee not everybody who owns one registers it...and I'm sure most have updated firmware at least once.

You could try to register, if he didn't, it should let you without issue.
