The company has been against websites that sell these devices to European customers, and decided to raise the issue with The District Court of The Hague. Following a new ruling, it’s now unlawful to sell the MIG Switch and similar products in Europe. Websites have been forced to stop selling the devices moving forward.

As long as you have an rcm Switch. Otherwise good luck.

True. Even then, I’d feel comfortable with some soldering for the chip workaround to get the maximum yield.
