It shame for the device to become unusable once the subscription period has expired.
There is supposed to be a basic release that the device will continue to operate, and there should also be an option to reset the factory when needed.
It is inconceivable that a 500 $ device becomes unusable once the SD card is lost or corrupted!
There also should be a low subscription cost for those who have old units to get old basic software, and get it in use.
For mine sd708 the subscription is 450 $ UNBELIEVABLE
Monetary thinking!
Autel is losing customers, I'm one of them.
