Yeah, Meh- mood too would definitely take a turn for the worse if I did an update just before my F'n sub ran out, and it F's me on being able to scan certain make of car , especially my own car. Hope you made backups of your older software versions while you were still within your update period.
I would think I would abstain from doing any sort of software updates within 30 days of my subscription expiration unless I hear that the newer version is stable and isn't rendering more functions inoperative than it is adding to newer car coverage.
I haven't been reading much good news the past few years about improvement to Maxi Sys stability, functionality, or support for the product. Other than pleasing lawyers and complying to Bogus court ordered software interface changes that just seem F things up ). Absolutely nothing I read so far would make me want to either update my DS708 or upgrade from my old DS708 with software from mid 2014.
If I do upgrade, it will be because I got to have newer car coverage, and likely be the corded MS906 (price point model) or clearance discontinued MS905 mini and likely never, ever purchase an update for it.
I have seen no effort from support to fix problems for people just out of subscription period or provide some sort of recovery software that people can restore their tools with , so until they make things right with people's problems, updates are beta tested and stable, support improves, why buy updates if they might cause problems for older car coverage?
