How To Solve Ford IDS 3-Day License

Ford IDS v86 cracks can be installed directly into Windows native for vehicles before 2012. However, in other versions of IDS (original), usually only 3 day trial version will be offered. So, how do you solve it? There are three options. here you go

IDS Software - Evaluation License 

A non-renewable evaluation license has been installed on your computer which will expire in 3 days

Note: a production license must be activated prior to or at expiration of the Evaluation License to continue using Vehicle Communications

Select the Obtain Production License button below to activate a Production License now or select the Continue button to continue using your Evaluation License

 

Way 1: use VMWARE player

To install VMWARE which can freeze and restore ids when you use it (like a restore point but no registry entries for rollback)

Using a VMWARE image would have been MUCH easier. Simply make a copy of a windowsXP virtual machine BEFORE installing IDS. Then when you 3days is up.. delete that virtual machine and then use your backup one.. install IDS and continue on again!

Use v91 vmware (fix the day)->v100 (others)

In details...

with ids installed and expired

start task manager and make sure no ids or bosch services are running.

get iobit uninstaller and system care

use iobit uninstaller to remove ids and bosch at end of basic uninstall

select deep scan, then select shred files

next start iobit system care and do a registry scan, or better still a full scan

next manually delete the files bosch and ids in program files and in program date

then empty bin and shred files

reboot your machine and it will then allow a re install

Look here: How to install Ford IDS VMware

NO active license...
look here: When you open VM at first time, choose "I move it" and all will be OK.

Way 2: install Deep freeze

Just don’t open IDS install deep freeze and no need to change cmos date every time

In details...

How to install V81 and freeze program correctly:

Step 1: How to install Ford VCM 2 IDS V91 – up to V96

Insert V91 Ford VCM II CD into your computer.

Open the file and copy and paste “DFSTD” and “DFSTD KEY” to the desktop.

Double Click on “ids-91.01_full”.

Select language and Click on “Next”.

Click on “Yes”.

Click on “Next”.

Select “I accept” and Click on “Next”.

Click on Next to install the software on Disk C.

Click on “Reboot”.

Select “Non-Dealer” as Dealer Type and “MADAGASCAR” as Country and then Click on “Tick” icon.

A window “IDS Software – Computer Date Synchronization” will pop up, Click on “Continue”.

Then you will get a window saying your computer will expire in 3 days. If there is no expire message, it indicates your installation failed and cannot be reinstalled. Therefore, please strictly follow this video.

Step 2: How to install IDS V81 calibration files

Take out V91 CD and insert V81 IDS CD.

Open the file and double Click on “VCMDVD”.

Click on “Calibration” to install calibration file.

Click on “Next”.

Click on “Next”.

Click on “Install”.

Click on “Finish”

Click on “Exit”.

Check if its device has established communication with the car by check “ETAS VCI USB RNDIS DEVICE” in device manager.

Check if there is VCM network in “Network Connections”.

If the VCM network is disconnected, open “Windows Firewall” and select “Off”.

If the network is still disconnected, select “Start” – “All programs” – “Bosch” – “VCI software” – “VCI Manager”.

Open “VCM Manager” and Click on “Repair USB”.

Click on “OK”.

The network is now connected.

Double Click on “IDS”.

Click on “Tick” icon.

Then the upgrade will start automatically.

Click on “Tick” icon at the bottom right when the upgrade is finished.

Go to “User Preferences”, Click on “Computer” icon and check hardware and software version under “VCM II”.

Select “Start new session” and Click on “All other” to establish communication to the car.

Select “Module Programming”.

Step 3: How to install Freeze Software

Very important note: 

the Freeze software should be installed within 3 days after the V91 IDS is installed. Otherwise, the Freeze software will not be installed anymore.

Open “DFStd”.

Click on “Next”.

Select “I accept” and Click on “Next”.

Find License Key in “DFStd_KEY”.

Copy and paste the key into the blank and Click on “Next”.

Unselect Disk D and Click on “Next”.

After installing the frozen software, the V91 IDS software will not be deleted even if you reinstall the computer system. Therefore, if you want to install other version VCM2 IDS software later, please choose V86 rather than V91.

Click on “Next”.

Click on “Install”, your pc will then reboot automatically. The installation is finished.

Way 3: crack software by license files

How to crack Ford IDS software by License file?

1. Please don’t run the IDS software, before you install the License “Ford-License for IDS.exe”.
   2. If you can see the windows process “XMLRegistryD.exe” in the windows task manager, then kill the windows process “XMLRegistryD.exe” before you run the “Ford-License for IDS.exe” License.
   When you install the License “Ford-License for IDS.exe”, you may see" Can't run patch while IDS program is running.", what should you do? Here is the answer.
   While you install the License “Ford-License for IDS.exe”, if you see the picture 1, then you should do the step 1, step 2, step 3.
   Step 1:Press the “windows key + R” of the keyboard, then display the picture 2:

Step 2: Input the “TASKMGR” into the textbox of “open (o)”, then display the picture 3:

Step 3: Kill the windows process “XMLRegistryD.exe”.

Step 4:Rerun the License “Ford-License for IDS.exe” .then directly display the picture 5.

The last.... it’s IMPORTANT for you to read something about IDS software license...

VCM2 license:

easy way to crack download any version from any where you like..

and just before opening ids. install deep freeze...restart..

then every time you get 3 days lic... you start ids enter your detial like dealer id,country.. etc.. it gives you 3 days licence..

hurry no playing with cmos date...
just don’t open IDS install deep freeze and no need to change cmos date every time

VXdiag licence:

is actually written on the hard drive and since the the VM is in non-persistent mode, it disappears as soon as you turn off the VM.

Remove non persistent mode. Get your license and put back the non persistent mode.

Make sure not to launch IDS while you do this

VCM2 or VXDIAG VCX NANO Ford:

In my opinion VXdiag tools are crappy and not worth buying it.

Using vcm2 sp177-c1 I can communicate with all car and truck. But still have difficulty programming some pre 2010 truck / SUV.

On a side note, to save your time and avoid installation issues, you can go to Ford IDS software VMware without license issues:http://www.obdexpress.co.uk/wholesale/ford-vcm-ii-diagnostic-tool-wifi-card.html

New Ford module programming with VCM2 clone

VCM2 manual: NEW module programming using Ford IDS software

You need Ford IDS software, original or crack

You need a HQ VCM2 clone SP177-C or SP177-C1

(VCM2 genuine definitely is the best solution, but a high-quality one should work great, not  cheap crappy tools)

When installing a new module, the configuration data must be transferred from the old module beforeit is removed. The new module will then be programmed using this information. Use the followingsteps to download the data from the existing module and program the new module:

Step 1: Select the toolbox tab at the top of the screen

Step 2: Select "Module Programming"

Step 3: Select the tick mark or the Enter key

Step 4: Select "Programmable Module Installation"

Step 5: From the fly out menu, select the type of module to be installed

Step 6: Select the tick mark or the Enter key

Step 7: Make sure that an Internet connection has been established and then select "Confirm"

Step 8: Follow the instructions on the screen. These instructions vary depending on the type ofmodule being installed.

NOTE: Be sure to follow these instructions in the exact order that they are given. Do not remove or install any modules until instructed to do so. Failure to follow the instructions correctly may result in the configuration data received during vehicle identification to program incorrectly or not at all.

Step 8A: If Ford Module Programming was unable to retrieve the configuration data due to either

a non-functioning module or a module which was removed before the data was retrieved, the

application will request that the user obtain information from the Module Build Data (As Built)

database. Access to this database is included in the Ford Module Programming subscription. The

data can be obtained by doing the following:

• Go to the Motorcraft website (www.motorcraft.com)
• Go to the Technical Resources area
• Log in using the User ID and password set up when the subscription to Ford Module

Programming was purchased

• Select "My Subscriptions"
• Select "Ford Module Programming"
• Select "Module Build Data (as Built)"
• Enter the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and select "Submit"
• Write down the information that was requested by the Ford Module Programming

application

• Return to the Ford Module Programming application and enter the requested information

Step 9: If necessary, apply the reprogramming label to the PCM

If an emissions recall has been performed or a required emissions-related TSB has been completed,

an Authorized Modification label must be placed on the PCM. These labels can be purchased at the

parts counter of a Ford or Lincoln/Mercury dealership.

NOTE: It is the responsibility of the technician to inform the customer that Ford Motor Company will not reimburse the vehicle owner for field service actions that are not completed at a Ford or Lincoln/Mercury dealership.

Step 10: When the "Programming complete" screen appears, select the tick mark or the Enterkey. If PATS initialization is required, Ford Module Programming may automatically link to the PATSparameter reset and/or key relearn procedures. Two ignition keys may be required to complete the

PATS initialization procedure.

Step 10A: If PATS initialization is required and Ford Module Programming did not link to thatfunctionality automatically, go to the Toolbox tab and select "PATS". Detailed instructionsare provided in Section 6.

How to use VCM2 clone for Ford module reprogramming

VCM2 manual: Ford IDS reprogram PCM/ECM modules.

What is a reprogram engine control module?

The Engine Control Module (also called the Powertrain Control Module or PCM) is the brains of the engine management system. It controls the fuel mixture, ignition timing, variable cam timing and emissions control

What is the PCM on a Ford?

A power-train control module, abbreviated PCM, is an automotive component, a control unit, used on motor vehicles. It is generally a combined control unit, consisting of the engine control unit (ECU) and the transmission control unit (TCU).

What is flashing a ECM?

ECM ECU PCM TCM FLASH – ENGINE COMPUTER VIN PROGRAMMING FLASH & REFLASH. “Flashing” refers to reprogramming automotive engine control modules (ECMs). Almost all new vehicles today are now flash programmable. Flash reprogramming is an important part of repairs and tune-ups on most 1996 and newer cars.

What is PCM reprogramming?

To reprogram a PCM or other vehicle module, you need a factory scan tool, or an aftermarket scan tool with reprogramming capabilities, or a J-2534 compliant “PassThru” interface tool (or J-2534-1 for 2004 & newer vehicles) that can connect a PC or scan tool to the vehicle’s diagnostic connector or module.

How to do Ford module reprogramming?

When a module such as a PCM is reprogrammed, it is not removed from the vehicle. All programmingis done through the communications network.

You need Ford IDS software, original or crack

You need a HQ VCM2 clone SP177-C or SP177-C1

(VCM2 genuine definitely is the best solution, but a high-quality one should work great, not  cheap crappy tools)

a very important note:

Ford VCM2 IDS Error Code:11.0×0 851082 when PCM reprogramming

It’s aimed to help how to reprogram/reflash Ford PCM via IDS software esp. for those with  Error Code:11.0×0 851082 will be shared here by other users.

Error message:

“The operation cannot begin because the PCM failed to complete a service procedure. Perform PMI on the PCM to resolve the issue.”

Possible scanners working with:

VXDIAG VCX NANO Ford

VCM2 clone

Customer solutions:

Customer A:

Turnoff your firewall

Customer B:

Uninstall fmp and reinstall it. I have had this happen before.
I have had some new pcm be un programmable.
And just for reference. Fmp doesn’t like Google. Use 32 bit processor as well.
I had to slow my computer down from 64-32 because fmp would not work correctly with 64.
Good luck.

Customer C:

If you are checking PCM for up-dates, Ford will advise on 6.0L powertrain if there is a reflash avail for TCM, FICM or PCM, if it states there is no update then all three modules are at latest level, no action required, I am aware it states to remove FICM relay prior to reflash FICM, this is a carryover note from when we used PDS or WDS to reflash the FICM, if you are using IDS with VMM interface its not required to remove the FICM relay, I have reflashed over 1000 of them this way over the last 7 years, as always make sure the battery stays in the sweet spot @ 13.5 volts, make sure your laptop has sufficient power, I always plug in, make sure cables to veh and laptop are safe from accidental disconnect, Good luck!

Customer D:

If you try to VCM2 genuine or clone to make reprogaming well you need IDS V98.01 or higher.
It would be good to check if during initiation programming interface output 18,5V on pin 13 in OBD connector.
