[QUOTE="Ididndoit, post: 9111"] CUSTWP is the last byte of PPUA. PPUA = SA + CUSWTP. Call your SA or shared address AA BB CC. Call your CUSTWP DD. If you have a PPUA = AA BB CC DD, then CUSTWP is the DD part. In pirate software you can set this usually to 00 and take advantage of all surviving CUSTWPs for an SA. These can be a maximum of 256. Viasat also pull a nice trick on some SAs of sharing an MK not just for 256 cards, but 4,096. They do this by using same MK sometimes for last nybble of some SAs. So should your MK ever die even after setting CUSTWP to 00, there is still sometimes a chance you can resurrect it with a little experimentation. PPUA = AA BB Cx DD in this case, where the x can take any hex value from 0-9 and A-F. :) [/QUOTE]
