If it's off interest I might take some pictures and post them up as currently all my tools are in the house whilst getting the workshop renovated.

Hi Tony. Its a while ago that i was in the Ferrari module. I cant remember but i think i was in the 360 module.
I will check and confirm when i can as it will be interesting if the fez modules are using different throw out numbers for the 360 and 430 modules.
Screen shot below which is how i arrived at 10.178
I have updated a couple of times no problems and will buy another in 2 years rather than pay almost the same for updates.
Spot on there Danny.Phil, what happens after the 2-year period? Just no more updates or can the diagnostic system no longer be used? I guess the first. Question that comes up then is, why would anyone with a specific type of Maser bother? What type of update would benefit e.g. a 3200 or Gransport? All possible kinds of errors are known by now, I would assume? I am just trying to think of what benefit an update could possibly bring. Obviously, a different story if you are professionally working on different types of brands/models or if you upgrade your Maser each year or so. But most of us are sticking to a certain Maser Model for longer than just 2 years (I guess?)

Very helpful again !The launch system will still continue to work after the initial 2 years of free updates.
The main benefit of the updates for the home user is that they fix or tweak any bugs such as the incorrect throw out divider mentioned in the previous posts. Updates in the v10. Maserati modules range could not write the PIS setting with a decimal point which was fixed with the v.11 onwards updates.
The other advantage is if you have any other cars daily or otherwise that you change more often then the updates will be more useful.
Nothing to stop you going without updates for a year or two until you change your daily vehicle for example or until you found a specific need for an update.
In all honesty though if the tablet is 4 or 5 years old at that point the internal battery wont hold much charge and you may as well just replace the tablet part.
The internal tablet is usually a Huawei 8 or 10 inch model from the media pad range with a tough silicone case over it. So you can just buy a new tablet to get round the battery issue as and when it happens.
Launch allow you to download fresh software and all the modules up to the point that your update licence expired.
So for example if your licence expired in june 2020 you can load the software on a fresh tablet in january 2021 and still get all the updates upto and including june 2020. It will show you any update by brand that are available after that but you wont be able to use them.
Very helpful again !
I believe that my "mini" may be based on a Lenovo 7 inch tablet, but I'm not certain. The previous model definitely was, but my V3.0 coming without a "selfie" camera I'm not so sure.
I've read that the licence is actually linked to the dongle, not the tablet, and that it's possible to download the software onto a mobile phone (easier to carry around). Any experience of that, please? Where to download the application from?
Many thanks - if you could find the link that would be great.Yes ive downloaded it onto my phone as well. I will try and find the link for you. The only issue i have found if its on your phone is as an example the read and write boxes for the PIS setting change position and dont show the labels until you click on them. The label then displays down the screen. Its a minor issue as long as you know where the tabs are as its scrunching up the display from 8 or 10 inch to a 5inch screen.
Many thanks - if you could find the link that would be great.
Interesting downloaded onto my phone as another tool but won't accept my serial number but accepts the code.
Accepted my registration as per my tablet so I will message customer service.
I've not seen any way of doing that - perhaps someone else has?I assume you can't just buy the dongle and license, and load the software onto your own tablet/phone?
