Default Problem with VAGCOM.

I had no problems with VAGCOM nor my comp until today when I could not log channels above 25, when I discovered that my copy has somehow deactivated. I purchased a copy of the full version in Sept. and now I can't activate it.

I have the Activation code from Linda corresponding to the serial number I sent to Ross-Tech but putting that activation code on the copy of the expired VAGCOM gives an invalid error that it does not match to the serial number.

What do I do? I need to reformat my comp but what info does Ross-Tech need so that I can reactivate it after reformat.

Thanks,
Alen

Default If you feel you need to reformat,

and VAG-COM has becoem de-activated, chances are the two conditions are related. So long as you're using the same PC, it shouldn't be a big deal. Some links for your persual:

Default the thing is i can't deactivate it.

i still haven't reformatted and vag-com has become deactivated.

i still have the same application file.

if i don't deactivate it, reformat the computer and use this same application file to install vagcom can i use the same activation code i have in email?

Default After you reformat you'll need to request a new activation,

using the form at the link below.

Default ok I reformated the laptop and this is the email from Linda..

Hello -

I am sorry but this serial number does not decrypt as the same PC that you had previously registered with us. Please send us a deactivation for the earlier copy of VAG-COM and we will be happy to send you a new activation code.

For more information on deactivations, please see this link from our FAQ:

http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/faq_5.html

You will find detailed instructions on how to deactivate at the bottom of FAQ entry, question number 5.2.

Best Regards,

Linda Ross
Ross-Tech LLC



This is the same laptop that I had vagcom on before. So how can we solve this issue?

Default Linda does not read Audiworld, and ..

you gave no explanation whatsoever when you filled out the form. Yet the form clearly states:

"If this is not your first request for an activation code and you are not supplying a de-activation code, you must provide a detailed explanation here."

OTOH, the boiler-plate response you got wasn't really the correct one for this situation, and for that I apologize.

Check your e-mail again.
