VCDS, the powerful diagnostic software from Ross-Tech, supports multiple languages, but its licensing structure often raises questions. This article clarifies how licensing works, particularly concerning the Polish (PL) version and its availability.
VCDS is primarily developed in English, meaning every license intrinsically includes English language support. The licensing system allows for one additional language alongside English. However, Ross-Tech doesn’t directly translate VCDS into every language offered. Instead, authorized resellers in specific regions handle the translation and support for their respective languages.
This reseller model grants these distributors exclusive rights to sell their localized VCDS version. For example, the Polish distributor is responsible for translating and maintaining the Polish (VCDS Ross-Tech PL) version, as well as providing customer support in Polish. This incentivizes distributors to invest in high-quality translations and dedicated support services.
Consequently, purchasing VCDS directly from Ross-Tech provides an English-only license. To obtain a license for VCDS Ross-Tech PL, customers must purchase from the authorized Polish distributor. This ensures that users receive software and support tailored to their specific language needs.
This system also ensures that customers with a non-English license can still access the latest English version, including beta releases typically unavailable in translated versions. It also prevents distributors from selling versions intended for other language markets, maintaining market order and ensuring dedicated support within each region. Therefore, if you need VCDS in Polish, purchasing from the official Polish distributor is crucial to obtain the correct license and access dedicated local support.
