So, I'm about to go to a customer site to install a PAC code for a new option they've ordered. But it turns out, no one knows where the original core-load USB stick is (they're still looking). Now, as I understand it, activating a new PAC code requires having the original core-load USB in UD1. If the original USB (or copy of) cannot be found, what are my options? Am I stuck asking Fanuc for a fresh copy of the original core-load?

Yes, you need it. Contact Fanuc asap. They will burn a new USB drive for you for a fee, but it can take a few days. If you need it quickly for your trip then make sure they know it is urgent.

I don't think reburns are free they usually cost 650 dollars.

Right I said for a "fee" not for free.

I --think-- it might be possible with an auto update USB. Long shot, but worth a try if you don't have the original USB media.

Sorry I was not wearing my glasses.

Yes, I would also give this a try.

Well, the good news is, the customer found the original core-load USB. So I dodged that bullet.
For future knowledge, what's an auto-update USB?

Just the auto update from Fanuc on a USB drive.
