Arm your v3 bootloader upgrade grant just before final step: when all else is prepared.
Short, case-sensitive, no space, no garbage (type or paste carefully). Any space, formatting character (or special scriptie/insert/select into/update or similar attempt) will result in not arming. No success indication will be shown. (Upgrade will succeed if providing valid data).

Password (case sensitive)
Serialnumber (just number 1 .. 999999, no letters, no leading zeroes)

If you've done the ISP (set lock=3C) step but bootloader upgrade is rejected: post your password and serialnr above and retry bootloader upgrade from VemsTune.. If mistyped, repeat these steps (more carefully) ... a few rejected attempts are no problem.
New VT recommended: http://vems.hu/vt/ (nightly or stable)

Quick Summary:
Notes: Obviously having internet on the VemsTune PC is much more convenient and highly recommended. (Best to do from VT, and not even try to manually download from server which does not allow any room for errors).
