Support, thanks for the confirmation of the DS708 being discontinued.
Suggest a "sticky" message be put at the top of the MaxiDAS support thread with a clear explanation of the life cycle support of the tool.
I would hope the annual update price would be reduced if there are few updates and/or you provide a 5 year update to the tool owners. Or even better do not sell any more 1 year update subscriptions and then give everyone free updates to the tool for the end of the life support, assuming you will even offer any. This would be very helpful for all the owners that are having SD card failures and they could easily recover their tool and put it back to work hopefully making money for them at their shop.
Kind of false advertising if you "knowingly" sell updates to a tool you do not plan on updating?
Do I sound bitter? Yes, I think many of the MaxiDAS owners kind of feel the same way at this point.
We should not find out by just bits and pieces of the tool status spread around a support forum, Autel should be CLEARLY up front about the tools status. It would be very helpful if Support made a CLEAR post here in the Support Forum about the current tool status, how it will be supported going forward, for how long and what the update pricing and strategy will be.
Please manage the MaxiDAS DS708 owners expectations, it will at least allow the DS708 owners know what is going on and it would likely make Supports job a bit easier so this information does not need to be repeated over and over again.
