NEW BETA RELEASE IS NOW AVAILABLE. PLEASE SEE LATEST BETA SOFTWARE FOR DOWNLOAD LINKS
ATTENTION - BETA SOFTWARE RELEASE
We strongly recommend that you do not install the beta software over the top of your production systems. It is possible that the beta test software may fail and your production system may not be recoverable. lf you conduct a tuning business, please take the necessary precautions to protect your business. EFILive recommends beta testers use a separate FlashScan V3/V2 device (when installing the latest beta firmware) and only install the EFILive beta test software on a separate PC, laptop or virtual machine.
The current public release is available here (https://www.efilive.com/download-efilive).
Attention:
V7.5 no longer supports installation to Windows XP or Windows Vista. This change is due to SHA1 having been deprecated by digital certificate authorities. More info on SHA1 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-1)
V7.5 and V8 are now only supported on Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10.
WARNING:
Due to the new security/encryption option in this release, all tune files saved using V7.5.34 or V8.3.5 of the software or V2.07.169 or V3.00.059 of the firmware will no longer be compatible with older versions of the V7 or V8 software. If you distribute tune files to other users (i.e. your customers), the recipients must be:
[*=1]using version V7.5.34 or V8.3.5 or a later version of the software.
[*=1]using version V2.07.169 or V3.00.059 or a later version of the firmware.

Known Issues:
Issue #1:
Importing JTAG E86B files may result in a Boot Software segment checksum error.
Workaround:None.
Don't flash imported files with checksum errors. Don't use the EFILive software to correct checksum errors for the E86B imported files as that does not fix the underlying cause of the checksum error - it just masks the error(s) and causes additional problems.
We are working on a solution to that problem.
Issue #2:
Flashing transmission controllers using a V2 device in pass-thru from the V7 software incorrectly requires the TCM to be licensed. Transmission controllers are free to flash and should not require a VIN license.
Workaround:
Use the V8 software to flash transmission controllers.
Issue #3:
When black box logging BMS or AEM wide band data via CAN/OBDII, the BMS or AEM controller name is not stored in the *.pld log file. That means the BMS or AEM controller is not selected when viewing the logged data in the V8 software
Workaround:
None, will be fixed in the next update.

The EFILive Team
