EFILive Flashscan V1 Commercial Upgrade License. Now Scan Only.

I sent in my V1 serial number to request an upgrade from Personal Scan&Tune to Commercial Scan&Tune and received an email with the following information/instructions. I was not successful with the upgrade and after several email exchanges I started to believe there might be something missing, probably the Activation Code. If someone has completed this upgrade recently would you mind letting me know if the document is complete or not and I'll let Donna know.

Ok, I notified EFILive of the missing activation code.

The upgrade codes in the email are correct for your device:

Quote:

---

Personal Upgrade Code: 00D4929D
Commercial upgrade Code: 0B3A54D4

---

Make sure you use the digit zero, not the letter "O" for the leading zeros (although leading zeros can actually be omitted).

Please see the two images below that show what you should expect to see before upgrading to Commercial and after upgrading to Commercial.

Paul,

I cannot enter the Personal Upgrade Code: "00D4929D" the box is not activated. The top image "Before" in your post is identical to what I'm seeing. The text "Commercial" very dark and "Personal' is greyed out and will not accept text entry. I have no problems with entering the Commercial upgrade Code: "0B3A54D4". The question is about the "EFILive V1 Commercial upgrade Activation Code". This line, in my previous post, of your email lacks an Activation Code "Your EFILive V1 Commercial upgrade Activation Code is:________________". Please provide if needed. if not, please indicate that it's not required.

Thanks,
My64

The Personal activation code is only for upgrading from "Scan and Tune" to "Personal". If your device is already at "Personal" (as it appears yours is), then you only need to enter the Commercial upgrade code (i.e. 0B3A54D4) to upgrade from "Personal" to "Commercial". Once you do that then both the Personal and Commercial upgrade options will become greyed out indicating that the device has been successfully upgraded to Commercial.

Regards
Paul

Paul,

I've tried every suggestion you have offered including the instructions included in the email, which now seem to be wrong, with no success.

Three times I've asked you about the EFILive V1 Commercial upgrade Activation Code. and you have never replied. I'm asking for the fourth time is it necessary?

Thank You,
My64

Well I guess I don't understand what the problem is. From everything I've read that you've posted, I believe (and I could be wrong) that you are trying to upgrade your V1 Personal to Commercial. To do that, simply enter your Commercial upgrade code (which is 0B3A54D4), into the field labeled "to Commercial" then click the [Upgrade] button to the right of that field. That's all you need to do.

If there's something else that doesn't work or doesn't make sense or if I've misunderstood the problem, please try to explain the exact problem to me again. Include as much information about what you are trying to achieve and what you have tried that has failed.

The email is confusing. Sorry, I'll get it re-worded.

I hope that makes it a bit clearer.

Paul

Paul,

That makes it much clearer and yes I'm attempting to upgrade from Personal Scan&Tune to Commercial.


1. I verified that the registration details in the "\My Documents\EFILive\V7.5\User Configuration\License.txt" are correct after replacing the Personal Registration Details with the following:

[License.1]
Serial=003480749632
RoadRunner=
Type=Commercial Scan&Tune
Issued=20151011
Key=WWZF-PGMP-PKFF-PVCF

2. The V1 cable is connected to the PC with no vehicle attached.


3. Using the Commercial Upgrade Code 0B3A54D4 (using Caps and a 0 not an o) and clicking on the Upgrade Button I'm getting the following reply: FlashScan was not Upgraded. Please check the Upgrade Code that you entered, is correct.

Thank You,
My64

If you have not already done so, could you please try the other code in the "to Commercial" field, just in case they are the wrong way around in the email?

Not sure what you mean by "using Caps". That makes me think you are using an uppercase letter "Oh". The first character of the code is the digit zero, not a letter. The codes always consist of only the digits 0 to 9 and the letters A to F.

Lastly can you confirm that the serial number of your device really is 003480749632

Paul

Paul,

"If you have not already done so, could you please try the other code in the "to Commercial" field, just in case they are the wrong way around in the email?"
I have checked it before, but did it again.

"Not sure what you mean by "using Caps". That makes me think you are using an uppercase letter "Oh". The first character of the code is the digit zero, not a letter. The codes always consist of only the digits 0 to 9 and the letters A to F."
I should not have mentioned that since the "to Commercial" field is probably not case sensitive. Lower case entries A to F show as a to f.


"Lastly can you confirm that the serial number of your device really is 003480749632"
The Serial Number I originally emailed was copied from the blue License registration card 003480749632. I checked it against what EFILive shows. There the same.

Thank You
My64

At this stage I don't know why it won't upgrade to Commercial Scan and Tune. If you can send it back to EFILive I will upgrade it manually here. If I can't upgrade it, I'll replace it with a new one (free of charge).
Let me know if you want to ship it back to Auckland NZ, if so I'll send you the shipping details.

Regards
Paul

Paul,

One additional question. The firmware version is 244.2.17 dated 18Jan2005, could that be a problem with the upgrade?

Thank You,
My64

The final firmware programmed into V1's before we stopped manufacturing them was 1.2.17 on Jan 18, 2005. So what you have is the latest firmware version.

Paul

Please send the shipping details and I'll get started. The interface came with four PCM licenses, three are available and I used one.

Thank You,
