Licensed Interface Required

Hello,

I purchased the VCDS Ross Tech V2 HEX-NET (unlimited) interface and downloaded the VCDS software from the shop.

However, when I run the "VCDS DRV 17.1" application and perform an Autoscan, I always get the message "This function requires a licensed interface." I have already registered, though.

How can I solve this problem? Restarting the computer didn't help.

Hello Alexander,


Could you please go to "Settings" in the main VCDS menu, then "Connection Test", "Save", and then in the main menu, click on "About..."?
Please email me a Screenshot of the "About..." dialog. In the Screenshot, there should be green text next to the serial number of the diagnostic cable, indicating that the interface is licensed.
I'm pretty sure I checked that already, but you never know.

It's possible that clicking "Connection Test" in the program settings will already resolve the issue.

Best regards, Rainer.

Hello Rainer,

It says "not licensed" there.

Best regards.
Alexander.

That's bad; HEX-NET should already have a license from Ross-Tech. I'll inquire about it.

Best regards, Rainer.

OK. Thank you for the email.

I'll wait and see if they can manage it.

So, the serial number is different in the German and English versions.
