I'm in the US, but plan on traveling abroad in Asia in a few months. Read the latest notification from DJI and I'm confused if this is just for international based users or for anyone traveling internationally or for everyone so that geospace is correctly defined no matter where you are.......

"DJI will soon introduce a new application activation process for international customers. This new step, to take effect at the end of this week, ensures you will use the correct set of geospatial information and flight functions for your aircraft, as determined by your geographical location and user profile. All existing flight safety limitations, such as geofencing boundaries and altitude limits, remain the same.

Even if you have registered when activating your aircraft upon purchase, you will have to log in once when you update the new version of DJI GO or GO 4 App. If you have forgotten your password since your initial login, you can reset it using a function within the DJI GO and DJI GO 4 apps.

You will need a data connection to the Internet for your smartphone or tablet when you log in, in order to verify the account information and activate the updated software or firmware. If this activation process is not performed, the aircraft will not have access to the correct geospatial information and flight functions for that region, and its operations will be restricted if you update the upcoming firmware: Live camera streaming will be disabled, and flight will be limited to a 50-meter (164-foot) radius up to 30 meters (98 feet) high.

The feature applies to all aircraft (except standalone A3 and N3) that have been upgraded to the latest firmware or when using future versions of the DJI GO and GO 4 apps.

DJI encourages pilots to always follow applicable laws and regulations in the countries where they operate, and provides information about these regulations on its FlySafe website atflysafe.dji.com.
 
There are 2 big threads with all known details. Sounds like you'll jsut need to reactivate everytime you move.
 
It is going to apply to everyone in the universe, this update is a game changer.

The majority of folks are saying it looks like drone/controller will force an update or lock the drone down after a set amount of time without check in.

I have already gone through the recertification, that part was easy, but when the force from .400 comes out, my Mavic is going on ebay because I will no longer be able to fly LEGALLY without my tinfoil diaper on my mavic in my neighborhood because it is "too close" to an "airport"...
