      this happened because you didn't turn your wifi off during this period or you did a system update that has been lurking all this time under update, even though you were out of subscription it kept showing under update  , mine did anyway. I had the automatic update turned off wifi off for more than 2 years and no problem. before I bought the update the other day I decided to give that system update a try to see what happen and sure enough it was a killer, lucky for me I was ready to purchase the new update and got it back to working order. so there you have it next time turn everything off or at least make sure that automatic update is disable.

      So if you buy a new tool now, how long does it work for without paying for an update? 1 yr, 2 yrs? This is going to be a secondary tool for us and am not going to pay 1300.00 a year to update!  if you pay for the tool and the software it should continue working until the owner of the tool decides to update, IMO.

      well, should and would are two different things, should it work after the update expires, yes it should but its not always the case, there could be a time bomb in this software. who knows what this Chinese  are up to, maybe  isis is making the software.  the tool comes with a one year update and warranty, after that your on your own. mine out of the blues this morning did a disk check, rebooted then told me that my serial number or password was wrong,  an error code2 and I couldn't use my tool at all. I spent 2 hours trying to figure this crap out until I got it working again by a miracle, don't even know if I fixed it or it fixed it self but I take either one. if your not planning on updating/renewing then turn off your wifi and don't update on the last month of your subscription.
