Thinkdiag / Thinkdiag2 / Ediag Software Activation License: Unlock Full-System Car Diagnostics

If you already own a Thinkdiag, Thinkdiag2, Ediag, or Ediag Plus F scanner, you know the hardware is capable — but the free app only gets you so far. To read every control module on every brand and run the special functions that pay for the tool, you need the software activated. This guide explains exactly what the Software License Activated for Thinkdiag / Thinkdiag2 / Ediag / Ediag Plus F unlocks, which devices it covers, and how to get it running in minutes.

What the Thinkdiag family actually is

Thinkdiag, Thinkdiag2, Ediag, and Ediag Plus F are Bluetooth OBD2 full-system diagnostic scanners. Instead of a bulky handheld, they pair with your phone or tablet and run a diagnostic app, turning a $20 Bluetooth dongle experience into something close to a workshop-grade scan tool:

• Full-system coverage — engine, transmission, ABS, SRS, SAS, TPMS, body, chassis, and more, across most car brands.
• Read & clear fault codes with live data streaming and freeze-frame views.
• Special functions — service resets (oil, EPB, SAS, BMS, DPF), actuation tests, and basic coding on supported models.
• Portable — pocket-sized, wireless, and ideal for mobile mechanics and roadside checks.

The hardware is the same solid platform across the range; the difference between a "basic" device and a "professional" one is almost entirely software entitlement.

Free app vs. full software

Out of the box, the companion app gives you a taste: a handful of basic functions and often one or two car brands for a limited trial period. That's intentional — it lets you confirm the device talks to your car before you commit.

To go further, the full software needs to be activated on your device. That's where this license comes in.

What this activation license unlocks

The Software License Activated for Thinkdiag / Thinkdiag2 / Ediag / Ediag Plus F (SKU XTY2070606, $74.00) enables the full diagnostic software on a compatible device, including:

• All-system diagnosis — read ECU information across every available system to speed up fault location, not just the powertrain.
• Full car-brand coverage — the complete brand list supported by the app, rather than the trial-limited subset.
• Special functions & service resets — the reset and adaptation routines that let you actually finish a job, not just spot it.
• Multi-language interface — the app's full language set, handy for mixed-fleet or export use.

Note: exact function availability still depends on the specific vehicle make, model, and year. Activation expands the software; it doesn't change what a given car's modules support.

Which devices are compatible

This license is built for the Launch-style Thinkdiag family and covers:

• Thinkdiag
• Thinkdiag2 (upgraded, with stronger bidirectional control)
• Ediag
• Ediag Plus F

Own more than one unit? Activation is tied to a device's serial number, so each scanner needs its own license.

How activation works (step by step)

1. Order the license and note your device's serial number (found in the app's settings or on the device label).
2. Send us the serial number after purchase so the software can be bound to your unit.
3. Wait for confirmation — activation is processed and the full software is enabled on that device.
4. Open the app and verify — the full brand list and special functions should now be available.

No shipping, no dongle — it's a software entitlement applied to the scanner you already have.

Is it worth it?

For three types of user, almost always yes:

• DIY owners with two or more brands in the driveway — one activation beats two separate cheap readers.
• Mobile / independent mechanics who need full-system reads and resets on the go without a laptop.
• Small workshops adding a backup wireless scanner for quick checks and customer walk-ups.

At $74, the license typically pays for itself the first time it replaces a dealer "diagnostic fee" or avoids a unnecessary parts swap.

FAQ

Will this work on a different scanner brand? No — it's matched to the Thinkdiag / Thinkdiag2 / Ediag / Ediag Plus F platform.

Do I get a physical item? No. This is a software activation applied to your existing device using its serial number.

How long does activation take? Most are processed promptly after we receive your serial number; you'll get confirmation when it's live.

Can I move it to a new device later? Activation is bound to the serial number you provide, so plan to use it on that unit.
