I wonder if the newer ones are trying to transistors/mosfets instead due to parts shortage, and they are unable the handle the 4x speed?
Yea, I'm suspecting something like that or they are clones ...
I probably should order one for testing, I just really dislike the licensing scheme and the I AM GOD software that doesn't like to be friendly ... It's like big daddy holding his thumb over ya!

Intelligence is in the details!
It is easier not to learn bad habits, then it is to break them!
If I was here to win a popularity contest, their would be no point, so I wouldn't be here!

I personally believe they are getting a large enough client basis to eventually turn it into a paid subscription. I imagine it will be cheap, but it would be in the hands of enough people (1million+) that when they do move it over to a paid system, itll be a constant pay day for them.
They never use to have a licensing system for the j2534. Its been put in place for a reason.

The sad part is, many things in this new world are heading that way, if that trend continues pretty soon door knob manufactures are going to charge a per use fee to open your house doors!

If they were adding some sort of ability that is desirable and made that paid, I would understand. But to switch everyone over will be chaos. They might not do it, could be well off base with that analysis, but it is a possibility based on how they have designed their system so far.

I think the license is to block clones. The drivers are heavily protected and the need for phone home licensing means they can see whats calling home and detect and block clones when they see devices with identifiers that shouldnt exist or too many devices with the same identifiers.
