What is the Redkey USB Updater?
The Redkey USB Updater is a separate program that runs on a normal Windows computer, just like any other program you download and open.
It is used to activate your Redkey before first use and to keep it up to date over time. The updater runs on your computer, and prepares the Redkey with the latest software so it’s ready to use.
When you receive your Redkey, you must run the updater once to activate it. After that, you can use the updater whenever you like to install updates, change settings, or make adjustments to how the Redkey behaves.
The updater can also be used to set things up in advance, such as report options and other settings, which can save time when wiping multiple systems. If needed, it can also reset or reformat the Redkey and return it to a clean state.
