Important Notice for EASE Diagnostic Tool Users
Effective September 30, 2018, EASE has discontinued the sales of its diagnostic and emissions equipment. This decision, directed by the Board of Directors, marks a significant shift as EASE merges with DENSO Products & Services Americas, Inc. This transition, effective October 1, 2018, has immediate implications for users of EASE diagnostic tools, particularly those reliant on the EASE Scan Tool software.
Key Changes for EASE Scan Tool Users:
- Sales Discontinuation: EASE has ceased the sale of all diagnostic tools, including the EASE Scan Tool, Reprogrammer, QuikCode, and associated software. As of now, these products are no longer available for purchase.
- No Further Software Updates: Crucially, there will be no future software updates for any EASE diagnostic software. This includes the scan tool software and the reprogramming assistant. Users should be aware that their current software versions are the final releases.
- Continued Operation for Existing Scan Tool Software (Versions 10 – X3): If you are a user of Scan Tool Versions 10 through X3, your current scan tool software will continue to function. This operation is contingent on the availability of obd2.com and related URLs, which are planned to remain active for two years.
- Critical Update to Prevent Future Disablement: While your scan tool software will continue to work even after these sites are deactivated, a vital update is available to prevent your tool from being disabled if you were to refresh your license after that period. It is highly recommended that all users download this update immediately to ensure continued access to their tools. You can find this essential update at obd2.com/update.htm. This update ensures that all features you have already unlocked will remain accessible.
