For “North American users” Epson now offers a tool to increase the self destruct counter one, single, time.

There are third parties now, that offer a reset of the software destruct counter, for a fee.

The fact that a printer sold as “Eco” has a software self destruct that the user requires an unlock key to reset - an occurrence frequent enough to make it a profitable business for third parties to sell such keys - should tell you all you need to know about these printers.

There appear to be higher end models without this self destruct, but most consumer models have this limitation.
