Just another quick question, do you know what the 0xFF means?
Example: Europe: "fsc a.hex 0x47 0xFF > code.txt"
I was told this means the map year your licensed for, like 0x12 is 2020 so is 0xFF Lifetime?
Thanks

Technically yes, it's "lifetime" however, there have been reported instances of BMW refusing service on navigation units with these type of FSC codes loaded.
So it's beware to the end user.
