Any recommendations for a high quality cable to use with Techstream subscription? (1 Viewer)

I got my vxdiag a couple years ago but the software package it came with requires running a “tech stream launcher” before opening tech stream. If I complete that step tech stream shows a few days until expired. If I don’t run the launcher, it is expired.

Maybe see if there is another program like that for your software package.

Thanks, bloc! I think that that may be the issue, the sequence I’m using to start Techstream. Late last night I did try re-installing the Toyota Launcher (copying it into the proper folder) and with my anti-virus program turned off. But I missed the part where 40Man mentioned that I need to “run” the executable, with the anti-virus off too. It was late at night

Will try this a little later today and report back.

Sounds like the patch is not getting installed correctly. Try installing the patch with antivirus off. Then open the patch executable file also w antivirus off.

The patch hacks the techstream to have no expiration.

Looks like the install was fine. But I didn’t understand at the time that the executable needed to be “run”. I thought that it only needed to be copied into the correct folder and that all I had to do was start Techstream. I now know better.

I wish that this purchase had come with some instructions. I was fortunate that the original installation went very smoothly, based on what I was able to find online. Not everything online was helpful, however, and “solutions“ to “expired“ s/w didn’t take into account my situation, namely how this is supposed to work (how to start Techstream).

After reading you post this morning, I finally realized that I need to run Toyota Launcher instead of simply starting Techstream.

So….success! Thanks to everyone that commented and contributed. And special thanks to 40Man and bloc for their recent posts.
