The Launch X-431 V update licence extends your right to software updates for the X-431 V by one or two years, depending on the term you choose. What the device can do is determined by the software, not the hardware. The X-431 V is a diagnostic tablet from the X-431 range for passenger cars. Between updates nothing about the device changes, but the vehicles that come into your workshop do change.
The licence is tied to the serial number of your X-431 V, not to an account or a code. We activate it within one working day on the serial number of your device. An extension keeps the vehicle coverage and the service and reset functions up to date. Once the term expires, nothing already on the device changes, but new software is no longer added.
PROS
POINTS TO NOTE
Applications and functionalities
Two things on the X-431 V depend on the licence. The vehicle coverage determines which cars the device recognises, and the function files determine what it may do with them.
What an extension gives you
- New vehicle coverage: Makes, models and model years added after your last update become available within the existing diagnostic functions.
- Service functions: New and corrected service and reset procedures are added through the same updates.
- Corrections and improvements: Error fixes and faster routines in the software itself are included.
What happens without an extension
- No additions: New coverage and new procedures are no longer added to the device.
- Online functions: Anything the software does not carry on board itself may become limited or no longer available after expiry.
- No loss of functions: What you do today with the X-431 V you can still do after the licence expires.

How does it work in practice?
The process has four steps. Allow for some download time if you have not updated for a year.
- Serial number: We need the serial number of the X-431 V to link the licence; it is on the sticker on the back of the device and in the settings menu under the device details.
- Registration with the manufacturer: We register your serial number for the new period, usually within one working day.
- Preparing the device: Make sure there is power and a stable Wi-Fi connection before you start the download.
- Updating the software: Select the available versions in the update menu and start the update.
