Registering your OBD2 Link SX to use with OBDwiz software is a straightforward process. Whether you’re a new user or upgrading from a previous version, this guide will walk you through the activation steps. We’ll also cover troubleshooting common issues like lost license keys and activation limits.
Activating OBDwiz for New OBDLink SX Users
If you’re using OBDwiz for the first time with your OBDLink SX, follow these steps to activate the software:
-
Connect to the Internet and Vehicle: Ensure your PC has a stable internet connection and your OBDLink SX adapter is properly plugged into your vehicle’s OBD2 port.
-
Navigate to the Activation Menu: Open the OBDwiz software and go to OBDwiz > Settings > About > License > Activation. Select the option “I am a new OBDLink user” and click Next.
-
Enter User Information: Provide your first and last name, company name (optional), and a valid email address. Click Next.
-
Generate License: Click Finish to generate a new license key and activate OBDwiz. The software should now be ready to use with your OBDLink SX.
Activating OBDwiz with an Existing License Key
If you’re installing OBDwiz on a new computer and already have a license key, the process is slightly different:
-
Connect to the Internet and Vehicle: As before, ensure your PC is online and your OBDLink SX is connected to your vehicle.
-
Choose the Upgrade Option: In OBDwiz, navigate to OBDwiz > Settings > About > License > Activation. This time, select “I am upgrading from a previous version” and click Next.
-
Enter User Information and License Key: Provide your user information as in the previous process. Additionally, enter your existing license key in the designated field. Click Next.
-
Complete Activation: Click Finish to activate OBDwiz on your new computer.
Troubleshooting Activation Problems
Lost License Key: If you’ve lost your original OBDwiz license key, don’t worry. Follow the steps for new users outlined above. The system will generate a new key for you.
Too Many Activations: OBDwiz allows for a limited number of activations (typically three). If you exceed this limit, you’ll encounter an error message. To resolve this, contact OBDLink support for assistance. They can reset your activations, allowing you to register your OBDLink SX.
Successfully registering your OBDLink SX ensures you can utilize the full functionality of OBDwiz for diagnostics and vehicle data analysis. If you encounter any further issues, consult the OBDLink support documentation or contact their support team.
