1. What is a Vcds License Transfer?
A VCDS (VAG-COM Diagnostic System) license transfer involves changing the ownership of a Ross-Tech VCDS interface to a new user. This is essential for second-hand owners to receive support and updates from Ross-Tech. A VCDS license transfer lets the new owner register the device and become eligible for VIN upgrades and technical support.
2. Why is a VCDS License Transfer Necessary?
A VCDS License Transfer is necessary for several reasons:
- Access to Updates: Registered users are entitled to software and firmware updates, ensuring compatibility with the latest vehicle models.
- Technical Support: Ross-Tech provides support only to registered users. Transferring the license allows new owners to receive assistance.
- VIN Upgrades: Eligibility for VIN license upgrades, which allows coding for additional vehicles.
- Legitimacy: Verifies the legitimacy of the VCDS interface, preventing the use of counterfeit or unauthorized devices.

A VCDS License Transfer is needed for:
- Individuals who have purchased a used Ross-Tech HEX-V2 or HEX-NET interface.
