No, as I understand it, you will never lose any existing functionality by not taking a future update. You will only lose future functionality. Meaning new encryption schemes or DRM protection methods. Your existing stuff will continue to work as usual.

I'll never update my PCH-200, because I think is dangerous... To brick a 400 euros player from an update, is not very good thing. They are making experiments on our money, I know, but to burn 400 euros I'm not so crazy !

If your unit bricks from an update where you can't recover it on your own, you have a physical problem with the unit. I've never heard of syabas not replacing a unit for this type of issue even if your out of warranty... I've also seen many firmwares get delayed until they know it will not brick a unit.

That's up to you. I flashed mine about 50 times I think.
Never had a problem. But people want to use custom stuff, which can cause issues.

If Syabas didn't exist tomorrow then we would not be able to update in 18 months time. If the product was discontinued then I would expect continued updates with new keys. Syabas support their products for a far longer life cycle then just about any other manufacturer of media players. The A100 still gets firmware updates and that is discontinued as an example.
It is an update not a new license, so you would still be able to use the player for disc playback, but some with new protection may not play and would require the use of a PC to backup and remove the protection.

why are people complaining about having to flash the firmware for the new keys - if you had a stand-alone 1st generation blu-ray player you can't update to use the latest keys so you have to purchase a new machine - while at least with the c-200 you can update the firmware giving you the ability to watch new titles
so stop complaining about updating and either a) do it so you can watch newer movies or b) don't bother and just stay with what you've already got
remember the c-200 is nearly 2 years old and we're still receiving updates many other manufacturers aren't providing updates for their players

So this license update is for playing the physical disc using an external drive or one in the 200 bay. If I were not to update (not saying I'm not) I would still be able to play and current or future BR discs that I backup on my server.
Am I understanding this correctly?
Personally, I don't see any advantage of playing the actual discs with the C200. I just use my BR Player.

If you don't update, you can't get any future firmware updates.

Backups will continue to play fine because these have had the license restrictions removed, but newer BD discs on an internal BD drive may not play if they require a license newer than is on the machine.
You won't get any future firmware updates (for bug fixes, etc.) without applying this one though.

I can't play any flac files at all. When I try it says" Request cannot be processed".. I have all of my flac files on a server and have never had a problem playing them with the Popcorn before the firmware upgrade. Now, when i go into the folders all of the flac files have an ! exclamation point in front of each of them in stead of a music note icon or something. mp3s play fine as always.
Does any one have any suggestions? It is as if the flac files are simply not being recognized......
Thank you for any help

If all your flac files have an mark in front of them then you are connecting to a DNLA/upnp server then.

It is a QNAP TS-201 Server. It is upnp configured. Is this a problem? It wasn't before. Any ideas on what I need to do to play them again?
Unfortunately, while i have LOTS of hi-end audio/video gear I am at a disadvantage technically, having very little knowledge of the mechanics of how all of this works.

UPNP/DNLA is a no no they are things that have restrictions and and can encode your things on the fly. The c200 did get some different upnp code added recently dont remember when so that could be your problem. But I would stay away from UPNP. and setup a direct share. using samba. This is how you access it from a pc using the network browser.

Thank you very much for responding. I really appreciate it.
Is there general documentation/directions I can follow to set up a direct share using samba?
