When a Jaltest license expires, the impact on functionality varies depending on the software module. Here's a breakdown of what happens:
Diagnostic Functions: Users retain access to diagnostic functions across modules, but with limitations:
- No Technical Information: Access to technical information becomes unavailable after expiration.
- Expert Mode: Expert mode remains available.
- Online functionality: Functions which require an internet connection will not be available.
Software Updates and Activation:
- New Versions: Access to updates requires the license to be active. Software blocking occurs if updates are missed after the release of a new version.
- Six-Month Check-In: The software requires reactivation every six months, even with an expired license. If this step is missed, the software will become blocked.
Modular Versions: In specific modular versions (such as truck, trailer, bus), the software is blocked immediately upon expiration, preventing any further access until renewal.
Manufacturers Module (brand specific): The software will be blocked immediately upon expiration.
It is important to use updated software to avoid numerous potential issues, including:
- Compatibility problems
- Security vulnerabilities
- Incomplete diagnoses
- Loss of productivity
