This got brought up again. Figured I'd drop a line here.
Autel decided to close my ticket as "resolved" on July 1, 2022. I have not heard any actual confirmation that this has been rectified, nor am I interested in paying for a license to find out that they haven't actually done anything.
No one at Autel seems to respond.
I opened another ticket, but chances are they'll tell me to pound sand, if they even respond at all.
