Default FYI, I don't believe that the software is transferrable

so unless it comes with a HEX-COM cable (which has a built in dongle of sorts) you are only buying a cable off of eBay. You still have to buy the software from Ross-Tech.

The HEX-COM allows you to use the software for free.

Default If it is the Hex-COM or Hex-USB Cable + S/w GO FOR IT !!! If its just the s/w version avoid !

eBay has rules on selling licensed s/w
I've had v.bad experiences buying sw on eBay

However with the VAG Hex Cable-Dongle the key is built into the h/w and it's licensed forever.
