FORScan Standard License
What exact License do I need?
1. I just want to read error codes. Do I need a license?
No.
The free Forscan Standard License is enough.
You can read and clear error codes (DTCs) right away with the Standard License – no payment needed.
2. I just want to change vehicle settings, such as turn on motor idle. Do I need a license?
Yes.
Changing vehicle settings (like motor idle, auto-fold mirrors, lights, etc.) requires the Extended License.
The free Standard License cannot do programming or configuration changes.
Quick tip:
Start with the free Forscan Standard License for reading codes.
If you later want to change settings, you can try the Extended License for free for 2 months.
