This link is no longer valid. Is there another link ?You now need to request a FORScan Extended License to Enable Programming Access. Currently FORScan will give a 2 Month License which you can request again after the 2 Months expires.
The FORScan team does have plans to charge for the application in the future, which is why the licenses are for a short period at a time.
If you click on the Help? Mark on the bottom of the left toolbar. You will see the following screen...
Make note of your Hardware ID or Copy it to clipboard to paste in the license request form.

This one is the best:Ok another question. Which OBDII adaptor are you guys using to communicate with the laptop ? Seems to be many ones out there. I prefer wired. Thanks.
100% this.Yes, that's good also, if you want wireless.
Personally I don't trust wireless interfaces when it comes to flashing critical modules, which could, at least in theory, be bricked if a loss of communication occured while writing data. This may not be the case with the sort of light configuration changes that most people use ForScan for, but firmware updates should not be attempted wirelessly. Better safe than sorry.
But for doing live scans using a mobile app, it's perfect, of course.
Good god, lets hope they are smarter than doing the actual write over wireless. I mean even wired doing the transmission first, error check then flash is smarter.Yes, that's good also, if you want wireless.
