Default TheKey is generated by the VAGCOM software and is hardware dependant...

... MyKey will only work on my computer. You need YourKey.

Really, your friend needs to uninstall the key from their VAGCOM software on their computer and then you need to email Ross-Tech to get a key for your computer.

You can read the CEL without the code..then just do a search to see what it means.

Default Oh... I was just having fun with your user name there... sorry. But yeah, you can do quite a bit...

... with the shareware version of the VAG-COM software.

Default I thinks it's a little more involved then that.

Correct me if I'm wrong guys. But the serial # that is generated during the install of the crippled demo you have is unique to the machine the installation was done on. From this serial #. Uwe is able to generate a unique activation key.

Interestingly, Uwe told me he was able to see my config by that serial #. To make a long story short. Our activation codes probobly would not work for you. Break out the AMX.
