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.
