    Have not seen 64bit drivers for the HA22 USB Stick - there a couple of issues with the stick(firmware is ancient and not upgradeable) and Intermatic has been out of the Z-Wave game for awhile. Time to look for a firmware upgradeable stick like the Aeon Labs Z-Stick ;)

    You will have to update each lock individually. You can add, delete and update user codes with Vera or HomeSeer remotely(web interface) - the reason Schlage only allows temporary codes from the the smarthphone interface is security. B)
