The STB editor should allow you to upload data FROM the Lifetime to the computer, without risking getting a corrupt firmware download. This should tell you if the computer is communicating.
And I assume you have the Ultra, not the Ultima. Some of the Fortec programs require you to type in the model name with correct spelling and correct case. I don't have an Ultra, so I'm not sure if it is Lifetime ULTRA
or Lifetime Ultra, but you'll need some caps for sure.
Make sure you read the pgm description at the web pages above, because they indicate firmware requirements, etc.
Hopefully someone with the Ultra can guide you more. I think the other poster just had a regular Lifetime.
