The software is downloaded from Motorola's dealer services website (you have to be a dealer to log in). A SmartRIB is not necessary for this application. For example, if you're talking about PRO radios, the HT and CDM series, you need the re-flash adaptor, HLN9742, and a regular RIB and the Programming/Flash cable, or you can delete the RIB and just use the RIB-less programming cable. You don't always need a SmartRIB to do a firmware upgrade. It really does depend on what kind of radio you are dealing with. Now, don't confuse flash upgrading with firmware upgrading. SmartZone trunking supposedly runs about a thousand dollars per radio upgrade, while some other options like Modat may be only 100 or so. They vary in price according to what options they add to a radio.
Motorola is the only 'official' source of Flashport upgrades. The software file itself remains intact, but the key is rendered useless for any further upgrades. The file on disk is not useful anymore once the key's allowed number of uses is up. A FlashKey can only be used for as many radio upgrades (and of the same type) as were purchased. It works with the RSS, and communicates with the SmartRIB and dongle to control the usage of the Flash file.

The last part of the system is the Flash upgrade software. The FlashKey is a 'dongle' which carries a program of its own in it. The physical requirements are a SmartRIB box, PC to SRIB cable (not always the same as the PC to RIB cable, you need a programming cable which has all the necessary pins connected properly and many aftermarket cables do not but the genuine Motorola article does), and a FlashKey, which is placed between the SRIB and the programming cable. New options can be 'flash' loaded into a FlashPort radio. well, here are the basics on how it's supposed to work Motorola Flash Programming Primer Motorola Flash Programming Primer
