I was told the same when I purchased mine. I now see my expiration date is next month. Please tell me what happened ? Kinda left us deceived on it purchase. Don't get me wrong I really like the tool but I am a 1 man shop so the purchase price and update cost was very important. Please be more honest with your product. I searched the internet and made calls about the update with no answers. would appreciate AUtel to do something about this. We were misinformed because you failed to tell or inform us about updates . Because of your new web site non of the old info is not available to show the lack of information about updates. Please help us
