One has to be authorized to access the download site(s). Sorry, that is going to be a common theme to the various DCinema updates, regardless of manufacture.

Out of curiosity, what are looking to update? That is...what isn't it doing now that you need it to do?

I'm just looking to keep everything current in the projector. I update the software and firmware in the Doremi servers when they come up. Looking to do the same for the projectors. I will call NEC about the whole "being authorized" bullshit.

As others are no doubt about to advise you... "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." is a much much safer path to follow. Unless you're trying to fix something specific or need a new feature you know is in the next release, just say no. You never know what bugs will be introduced with any given firmware. You never know when they'll pop up. If what you have works smoothly and does what you need, why risk the heartache/headache?

Disclaimer : You're 'talking' to someone who formerly scrabbled for the "Update Now" button furiously anytime it was available. I learned the hard way.
