VAG-COM is ODB-II Diagnostic Software for PC. It has little to do with chipping.

Default Technically, it's not OBD-II...

It uses the "proprietary" VAG protocols, not the OBD-II protocols.

Default Well yeah... You of all people would know! :-) By the way...

Is there an ETA on the arrival of the finished license transfer mechanism? I haven't reformatted my laptop in months because I don't want to bug you.

Default Transferring is easy..

Use the De-Activate button (in version 0.76 and up). Save the DE-ACT.TXT file. Send the file to us with your new serial number when you're done reinstalling everything.

It's no problem, you're not "bugging" us. Heck, if you send it to Activation@Ross-Tech.com, I won't evern see it -- my wife will process it!
