I recentlug acquired a Hex-Net from another user and I want to register it to me. I am aware of the process of registering it. My question however is, that IF it is ultimately re-registered to me, is it then possible to change the username of the original "user" that bought it?. Because I would love to pay the fee and register it, but really isn't interested in the username attached to it :)

"Username" for what?

* Contact info stored in the interface (and shown on the About screen in VCDS) will change once you finalize the registration change with the Transaction ID you will receive.

* Cloud Account: You will be able to create a new one.

Username on the forum is specifically linked to an individual customer record, not an interface. If you reregister the interface as your own through a VUDOT. Your forum username here will be linked to your newly created customer record. And the interface will be internally be considered as owned by you.

Here's more info on that process if you haven't already done so:

Ah thanks for clearing that part out. I have reached out to my local VCDS distributor in regards to getting the registration transferred to my name. I take it doesn't matter whether i do it through them or through "you" by using the provided link?

Correct. Directly through us will probably be faster, and possibly less expensive. The one exception would be if the HEX-NET you have doesn't currently have a license for the Danish version of VCDS and you want one. That would have to go through the distributor who makes the Danish translation.

Uwe, I assume the Hex-Net has been bought through NETech the danish distributor since he supplied instructions in danish, that i got from the original buyer when I bought the cable :). Stupid question I guess, but how would I go about getting the danish version of VCDS, because the only downloadable version I have found has been English.

I guess you haven't looked very hard? ;)

It's a good idea to keep the English version installed along side the Danish version - they'll quite happily coexist on the same computer. Reason to keep the English version installed is, if you need assistance here on the forums, we need English auto-scan logs since most users here don't speak Danish.

Well I just registered it, so now I hope it will change to verified :D. And I dont mind keeping just the english version installed for now, it seems to be the most up to date one anyway.

According to Options - Registration in VCDS, its my name etc on there. But VCDS, on its about page reports that's it licensed to someone else?.

Connect it to your PC (no car needed). [Options] -> [Test] -> [OK] -> [Save] once or maybe even twice. Then check the [About] screen.
