I do confirm that a factory reset (which is sometimes the result after a large 
upgrade and then a long period of no reset) is safe, and yes, you will need 
your software packages but not your licenses.  In fact, I'd advise a factory 
reset over a standard "Clear settings" reset, since it's more complete and 
useful.  Unfortunately, HW are now storing even more than they have before into 
the system store, probably in the registry, so you'll have to go hunting for 
every possible setting and putting it back, as only a few important ones are 
now stored in keysoft.ksd on the Flash Disk.  I'm no longer backing up anything 
except the pronunciation dictionary, because it's just a waste of time.  
Instead, I just copy the package from a folder called "Reinstall" on my SD card 
into the root, hit reset, and then go about setting things up again.  Keep 
everything on an SD card, and don't use KeyPlan or KeyMail, and even a full 
erase is "Safe".  I don't know why HW don't just document it.

Cheers,
Sabahattin
