could easily envision a few solutions, but better would be to face down
the problem with some more code and deployment. BTW, manufacturer going
out of business also means no more {bug fixes, security patches, h/w
support, etc}, and so zooming in and just dealing with this may be
suboptimal.
The manufacturer-going-out-of-business use case argues for there being a way that a person with physical access to the unit can re-key it without contacting the manufacturer. It also argues for open source, but that's out of scope. :)
