FYI:
As of now, EASE has ceased the sale of all diagnostic tools and related software. This includes the EASE Scan Tool, Reprogrammer, and QuikCode. Customers looking to purchase these tools will no longer be able to do so directly from EASE. This also means that there will be no future software updates for any diagnostic software associated with these tools, including the scan tool and reprogramming assistant.
For existing users of Scan Tool Versions 10 through X3, it’s important to understand the implications for continued use. Your current scan tool software is designed to continue operating as long as obd2.com and related URLs remain active. EASE has indicated plans to keep these websites operational for two years. Post this period, while your scan tool software may still function, refreshing your license will lead to deactivation of the tool.
To prevent potential deactivation after the websites are taken offline, EASE has made a crucial update available for download. Users are strongly advised to visit obd2.com/update.htm to download and install this update. Applying this update will ensure that all features you have already unlocked will remain accessible, even after the aforementioned websites are no longer active.
It is also important to note that access to Ford Secure Controls will expire immediately. Users who rely on this feature through their EASE tools will need to find alternative solutions. However, the Reprogramming Assistant software will continue to function with your current installation. It is critical to understand that this software cannot be reinstalled on a different PC once the merger is complete.
EASE/DENSO has committed to fulfilling ongoing warranty obligations for existing products. For needs outside of warranty issues, customers have a limited opportunity to purchase items from EASE’s remaining stock, such as vehicle interfaces and cables. This limited stock sale is available until September 26, 2018. It is crucial to note that all sales of these remaining items are final, with no returns or refunds accepted. Full payment is required at the time of purchase.
This announcement marks a significant shift in the automotive diagnostic tool landscape, particularly for users of EASE OBD2 scan tools. Users are encouraged to take the necessary steps outlined to ensure continued functionality of their tools where possible and to consider their options moving forward in light of these changes.
