Does Autel Scanner Tool Still Work After Software Subscription Expired?

[@electricvehiclesug256]

Nice explanations . Now i know

[@dlj1285]

Apparently it is mainly coding that can be affected by expired subscriptions, and the odd one off vehicle, but it says right on the Autel website it generally should still work.

Mine doesn't work on old vehicles below 2008 Only diagnose engine and automatic transmission. In new models 😢

[@150SCOOTER]

Some vehicles required data from online won't work.

Why am I getting registration authorization has expired and doesn't let me do anything

[@150SCOOTER]

Some makes / models ( ex: chrysler) are required to pull online data from the database, and then it's won't work after expiration.

[@jamiemorales2022]

Wait we buy the scanner and in order to use the features we have to pay subscription fees?

[@150SCOOTER]

Scanner will still work, but you will not get updated software on the newest vehicles.

@@150SCOOTER Many people are reporting their scanners are bricked. Perhaps not this model but the MaxiCheck MX808, for some, seems to not go past the subscription update notice.,

No cant code with it spent 1800 on one after called autel they told 700 then it can code

[@jaym5938]

If your scanner is bricked, it surely is a lawsuit since many other people's scanners seem to still work. The inconsistency is discriminatory and needs explanation.
