IMPORTANT NOTE:
Project Editor v1.2.11 requires all BC4X1s in a project to be running BC4 firmware v1.073 (included with the Project Editor Installer). After updating the firmware, you may be prompted to enter a "Pro Upgrade" code for any BC4X1 Pro hardware shipped before August 1, 2010. Please contact sales@bitwisecontrols.com, and include the MAC addresses of any units you need an upgrade code for. BC4X1 hardware shipped after August 1, 2010 will not require this additional step.
