Hi All,

Firstly I wanted to just say hello to everyone and thanks for having me aboard.

I am a 350Z owner living in the UK. I am currently using version 1.4 of the Nissan Datascan software which came with a ODB2 connector I purchased.

I will be purchasing the latest version of the datascan software shortly, but I do have a couple of questions relating to the software that I hope someone can help me with.

1. When I purchase the updated version, I would like to install one copy on my main pc and another on my laptop. Will I be able to use the same activation key for both or is it a case of needing an activation key for each device?

2. Before now I've primarily used the datascan software to retrieve error codes, however I would like to better understand the information received when using the data displays. It all looks great with the dials and everything, but I don't know how to relate to the information. I'm not an expert and if for example I was looking at data from the MAF sensor, I've got no idea whether what I am looking at is good or bad. I've got no reference. Is there anywhere I can get a data sheet or something that shows the acceptable ranges for each sensor/component for my vehicle? This is a great piece of software and I'd just like to be able to use it like a professional and not just be going, ooh look at those lovely dials. If you get my drift.

Thanks.

Welcome to the forum. Good to have you on board.

Regarding your questions:
1. You need a separate activation key for each device. You can not use the same activation key on 2 devices.
2. The user manual located on our website will help you understand the software better. There is a lot of changes with the new version http://home.exetel.com.au/nds/NDSII/ind ... t=download. For reference values check the service manual. NICOclub has most manuals available online http://www.nicoclub.com/archives/nissan ... nuals.html
