In case anyone runs across this thread looking for unlocking answers, here is the simplified version that I wrote up as I was doing it.
To Submit an Unlock Request
Go to fly-safe.dji.com/unlock/unlock-request/list
You will need to log in.
If it's your first time for an Unlock Request, you will need to spend a few minutes entering personal info, drone SN etc.
It specifies that you must use the SN shown on the controller (it says in the "App"). My controller and drone have the same SN.
Select Unlock Request
New Unlock Request
Custom or Zone? (I chose Zone because it was an entire airport that the RC club flies in) EDIT for a place within a red zone (near an airport) I was instructed to change this to a Custom Unlock Request not a Zone Request
Select Devices (your drone previously entered), select SN (drop-down next to Devices)
Select Pilot
Select Zone on the map (you click on the map and it draws a circle that you can adjust). Enter a max altitude, Enter a date/time period (3 days max)
Enter a reason (I said that the R/C club is based at the airport) EDIT I needed to upload an approval letter from the airport manager "We do these for the realtors all the time"
(when the letter came I changed it to a pdf so I could upload it) I also uploaded my Pt107 (US UAS certificate).
Submit. EDIT - they knew I was having problems so via email I notified them of this and within minutes Fly-Safe had approved it.
The earlier application was accepted instantly but would not allow flight so I contacted Fly-Safe (flysafe@dji.com) and they told me it was because it was within a red zone (I suggest they need to fix this because it meant driving to and from the airport several times to figure why it would not fly when the Unlock Request plainly said "Approved" and "Valid".)
To upload the data to the drone:
The drone and the controller must be on, and connected to each other.
The controller must have a wifi connection.
On the controller, swipe down from the top, twice. Click Wifi to see if connected. If not connected click the hexagon top right of this screen, Network and Internet; select a wifi and enter the PW. Make sure that Wifi switch is on.
Three dots top right ...
About button top right
Fly Safe Data "Check for Updates" (might as well update the Firmware above it while you are here)
Safety button top left
Scroll down to Unlock Geo Zones
Import to Aircraft, look for License Successfully Imported
PS
The drone battery gets extremely hot so you might work quickly.
I think you have to Unlock the Geo Zones each time you re-start the drone because it seems to loose them whenever I restart it.
