From one of the popular boards where a competing product M. cracking is being discussed:

… Let’s summarize!
There has been no voluntaries to test keygen :(
Once again: it is needed to test with a number of cameras not less than 26 and/or 51.
If someone has a licensed copy of software, please let me know first symbol from the second part of the license and a number of licenses. xxx-0xxx-xxxx
So far I am releasing what I have so far, maximum - 16 devices.

If you find anything that does not work, send send me messages, since I am unable to test everything.
If you need other M. product versions, I can add them into next release of keygen.

It’s a good news that cracking/unauthorized usage becomes so problematic nowadays.

Magellan technical support is disappointing:

In reference to your enquiry concerning more information [...], we regret to inform you that there is no information available concerning your enquiry.

In a lack of public information, they seem to be ignoring personal support requests. OK, no problem.
