Why do you need an Extend license?
1. This license is not restricted by us, it is restricted by the fo scan software provider
2. Used to restrict access to key functions. For example, PATS key programming function. If the software is completely released, all the software and the Fo scan ELM327 cable can program a new car key in a few seconds. This is too insecure for all users.
Those modules need Extend license:
Service -> PATS Programming
Configuration and Programming -> Module Configuration
Configuration and Programming -> Module Configuration(AS BUILT format)
Configuration and Programming -> Central Configuration
Configuration and Programming -> Module Reset/Configuration (required to learn central configuration changes related to these modules)
