Hi

I bought a HEX-NET interface from a french dealer. If i correctly understand I can only use the french and english versions of VCDS. Is it possible to buy an extension to be able to use the german version too (looks like it contains much more data...) ?

Regards

Can't you just install the German version next to your French version?

I'm going to make an educated guess here, but the English version always seems to have the most recent release number while the other ones seem to be 'delayed' a bit due to translations.

Hi

I've read on this forum that languages are limited to native language + english.... Thus my question!

Some stats :

French version: 2351 clb/lbl files
English version : 2301 clb/lbl files
German version: 3321 clb/lbl files

Much more labels in the german version...

For my car, for a calculator, the CLB file exists only in German. Thx to Dana I got a specific version "german encoded for english software" that worked fine.

Regards

All licenses are valid for English. The licensing mechanism supports one, optional, additional language. So while it would be possible to re-license an interface from French to German, doing so would mean losing the French license. The mechanism does not support more than one language beyond English.

You cannot compare it that way, there are several of the same label files in english in this number.

I tend to agree that on some very needy moments, it seems that German version contains a label file, where English doesn't.
At least when googling the part number contained in VCDS scan.
