- Send your MFD’s user permits file to the chart vendor (this may be part of the checkout process).

Important
S-63 Encrypted Charts are locked to the MFD specified in the user permit file that you supplied to the chart vendor. If you have purchased charts for multiple MFDs (i.e. you supplied user permits to more than one MFD), you must ensure that you split the received cell permit files between the MFDs accordingly.
