    Renew the subscription . Otherwise the scanner can't communicate to the servers. The scanner must have internet connection always when initializing communication with the vehicle.

     At least for the ones you already scanned before, if all the data was saved to History , then find the VIN in History and initiate a scan from the saved VIN in history, and maybe the security code that was downloaded before from Autel's server had been saved .

     I guess recently Snappy had worked something out with Fiat Chrysler where with the coming 19.4 update , WIFI connection, $50 (or more?) to register to AutoAuth  you won't need to access behind dash and bypass the SGM.
     IMO, it just seems to me to be a money grubbing conspiracy between the OE and aftermarket tool makers, also an invasion of privacy to have to provide personal information, get background checked by some AutoAuth site , and violates our Right to Repair requiring folk have to pay $50 plus captively forcing us all to keep an active software subscription on our tools to be able to repair .
      Just a matter of time before the SGM won't even be able to be bypassed with an  Autel 12+8 on Chrysler Fiat vehicles. It will probably just be integrated into the ECM.
