Hi guys,
I have paid version multi scan ecu on my old laptop. Is there a way of tranferering this to a more up to date laptop that i have?
Thanks
 
There is a licence transfer function.
Go to teh MES website and look at Help. Download the user guide. On Page 11 are the instructions to transfer to another PC.

Copied below, but the user guide is useful to have anyway.

License Transfer functionality
In case you need to change or re-install your computer you can transfer the
license to the new system by using the License Transfer functionality of
Multiecuscan.
Here is how to use the License Transfer function:
1. Open Multiecuscan on the computer where you have license.
2. Go to “Register” window and click “Deactivate” button
3. The system will generate a Removal Key (see the screenshot below)
4. Write down all 3 keys from the Register window – Hardware Key, License Key,
Removal Key.
5. Install Multiecuscan on the new computer.
6. Open Register window and write down the new Hardware Key.
7. Go to http://www.multiecuscan.net/TransferLicense.aspx and enter the old data
(Hardware Key, License Key, Removal Key) and the new Hardware Key and your
email and click “Request License”.
8. You will receive an email with the new License Key.
Multiecuscan User Guide Page 12 of 63
If you have any problems with the License Transfer function you can send us an
email with the new Hardware Key to [email protected].
Please note that the License Transfer function has a limitation on the number of
transfers.
 
Thanks PB :)

I have a sort of similar quandry

My 2012 MES licence is on an old device.. but there is a 5 year gap of vehicles not covered

2013/17.. :(


Not sure to try AlfaOBD on the old netbook.. and then bite the bullet when the netbook dies.

Trying to work out what you mean varesecrazy

MES has two license types:

Life Long or Yearly

A now standard license when purchased is valid for all vehicles in the current release at purchase date and all updates, fixes and new support/vehicles added during your current license period.

Some people (generally those who were involved in FiatECUScan development and early release purchases) have so called life long licenses. The licenses are still machine specific and have to be transferred via the mechanisms Portland Bill has pointed out.
 
Thanks..

Its been a while since I have done much with it..

But my recollection is/was it was an 'on the spot' full upgrade and did not include updates after 12 months.

I have 2 x 2013 twinairs.. one is covered one is not.. so I will need a more modern licence.. of some description.

If you need a more modern licence, you could just install and buy a new licence, as there's no value in the transfer faff.
Whereas the old licence gave us upgrades for ever, this changed a few years ago, so upgrades stopped. A new licence gives a year of upgrades, but after that it continues to work as it always did, just no new data.

I understand he needs to earn money from this, but I think for me, €50/yr is not worth it, as my car will not need updates.
I suggested an initial fee of the €50 and then an annual subscription, maybe €15-20. I'd be happy with that, but for now, I'll upgrade maybe 3-5 years.

My old license is lifetime but I was part of the original FES and then MES adopters/testers. I doubt there are many of us left out there.

When it comes to diagnostics I believe a stand alone hand held tool is pretty essential and should be carried in your car all the times.

I have a Foxwell NT301. It does all the basic generic EOBDII functions, parameter reading, graphing, code reading etc. I'm thinking of upgrading to an NT530/similar just for fun.

The point about the NT301 or similar (units beyond a simple code reader/reset) is that if on a trip you get a warning EML you can pull over and determine if it is safe to try a reset and continue with no engine damage or call for breakdown recovery.

I'll just carry my breakdown membership card.:D
