What is the purpose of the "Base Registration Key"

I cannot find any documentation specifically about this. It seems to be related uniquely to a piece of hardware.   I have received a replacement blade, but have not been given its BRK.

It is related to a specific unit. When receiving the hardware you should have gotten the base registration key in the confirmation émail from F5? It's easy to miss, I didn't know about it myself until recently. :)

 

If you didn't receive it though you can always call support and they'll hook you up right away. They crew manning first line is able to do it.
