System Key for O-charts after reinstallation OpenCPN on android

[iplat]

Hi,
It has happened to make some free space on Samsung Galaxy A5 during the non-sailing period because kids want to use this phone for games. There was installed OpenCPN with actual Canada Pacific Coast charts. The system key has changed after reinstalling OpenCPN. I saw here that it's meant to be a hardware hock-up. How to recover the used system key? That was the second (backup) installation. The first one is still active as it's installed on my phone.

More information needed, please.
1. What version of Android is running on the A5?
2. Was the Android O/S recently updated on that device?
3. What chart set from o-charts was installed, and when?


Thanks
Dave

Hi Dave,

Thanks for a quick reply.

A5 is not really fresh, probably 3-4 years old. All official O/S updates are installed and the chart set is "Canada 2021 - Pacific Coast" last year but is still valid.
There were several updates of the O/S on the A5 over last year. I can check what is specific version if it will help. But I have my primary OpenCPN installed on a Samsung Galaxy S20 that has had a similar amount of updates during this time and no changes to the system key were discovered.

Regards,
Ivan

If you know, I would like to know what version of Android OS was present when the charts were installed, and what is running now.
Also, were the charts installed using the "oeRNC" plugin originally?

Dave,

I'm not sure that I can answer your questions as I didn't capture the version of the android that time (who does...). I know for sure that I was following installation instructions from the O-charts website. One thing I can tell is that it was done on July 29, 2021. Whichever official O/S and plugin versions were at that time were installed on A5.

Ivan.

Are the chart files still present on the device? Or have they been lost?
Do you get any message onscreen when you try to access the charts?

Dave,

Charts files were deleted for freeing some space. It's 32 Gb phone, not much can be stored.
O-charts tab is logged in into my account, but system name is different now. No messages, just doesn’t do anything on "ok" pressed.

Please contact o-charts and report - we would need your "new" system name.

Thanks for the advice,

Just sent the message with the system names I have through the web form.

Ivan.
