GCQuad "Registration Expired" message

GCQuad "Registration Expired" message

The GCQuad must connect to the internet every 45 days to stay validated. If it doesn’t, you’ll see a “Registration Expired” message. It will still work standalone, but won’t connect to software or apps until validation is completed.

What Happens if Validation Expires

If your device goes past 45 days without validating:

Wireless connectivity to software (WiFi / Bluetooth) will be disabled
Club data will be limited to 1-dot mode only
Features recently purchased (like Club Mode) or region unlocks will not activate until validation occurs

Once your device successfully validates again, full functionality is restored immediately.

When You Need Validation

Validation is required when:

Registering a new device for the first time
Every 45 days (to maintain access)
After purchasing or enabling features (e.g. Club Mode)
After a region unlock is applied
After subscription or license changes

How to Validate Your Device

You can validate through any of these methods (internet required):

Option 1: Foresight App (Recommended for Ground Devices)

For GC3, GC3s, Launch Pro, GCQuad, and QuadMAX only
- Not supported for GCHawk or Falcon

Install the Foresight App on your iOS or Android device.
Connect your launch monitor to the app via Bluetooth.
The app will automatically ping our server and apply validation.

Option 2: FSX 2020

Works with all devices
Ground devices: connect via USB or direct Ethernet
Overhead devices (GCHawk, Falcon): connect via Ethernet only

Launch FSX 2020 on your PC.
Connect your device.
FSX will validate your device with the server.

Option 3: FSX Play

Works with all devices
Ground devices: connect via USB or direct Ethernet
Overhead devices (GCHawk, Falcon): connect via Ethernet only

Launch FSX Play.
Connect your device.
FSX Play will complete validation automatically.

Option 4: FSX Pro (PC)

Works with all devices
Ground devices: connect via USB or direct Ethernet
Overhead devices (GCHawk, Falcon): connect via Ethernet only

Open FSX Pro (PC).
Connect your device.
Validation will occur in the background when FSX Pro communicates with our server.

Option 5: Hardware Diagnostic Tool (Fallback)

Download and install the Hardware Diagnostic Tool from the Foresight Support site.
Connect your device via USB.
Use the tool to manually ping our server and force validation.
