Ford IDS v86 crack can be installed directly on Windows native, for pre-2012 vehicles. But with IDS other versions (original), usually you’ll have 3-day trial only. So, how to solve? There’ll be three options for you. Here you go.

IDS Software – Evaluation License

VCM II Won’t Connect to Vehicle PCM via Ford IDS (Solved) Outils de diagnostic de voitures. September 1, 2015 sales. I just got a clone VCM II from China, and then I installed IDS V95 and it did a software update which finished successfully. IDS detected the VCM II just fine, the lights light up correctly, but when I plugged it into my 2014. If you want to use a program like deep freeze, there's a better FREE one for IDS called ToolWizTimeFreeze Ford motor company folder, when its time to update you can exclude Program date and Program files folders to update IDS. If you have successfully installed/used Ford IDS V96, then directly download and install IDS V97. Better backup files before installing v97. IDS V97 Installation main steps: Install V81 calibration files; Install V91 IDS (Should have 3 day trail information after install V91 IDS, otherwise fail to install, quit the IDS.). Ford IDS V91 & VCM2 Working Flawlessly on Windows XP Virtual Machine. Just don’t open IDS install deep freeze and no need to change cmos date every time. In details How to install V81 and freeze program correctly: Step 1: How to install Ford VCM 2 IDS V91 – up to V96. Insert V91 Ford VCM II CD into your computer. Open the file and copy and paste “DFSTD” and “DFSTD KEY” to the desktop.

A non-renewable evaluation license has been installed on your computer which will expire in 3 days

Note: a production license must be activated prior to or at expiration of the Evaluation License to continue using Vehicle Communications

Select the Obtain Production License button below to activate a Production License now or select the Continue button to continue using your Evaluation License

Way 1: use VMWARE player

To install VMWARE which can freeze and restore ids when you use it (like a restore point but no registry entries for rollback)

Using a VMWARE image would have been MUCH easier. Simply make a copy of a windowsXP virtual machine BEFORE installing IDS. Then when you 3days is up.. delete that virtual machine and then use your backup one.. install IDS and continue on again!

Use v91 vmware (fix the day)->v100 (others)

In details…

with ids installed and expired

start task manager and make sure no ids or bosch services are running.

get iobit uninstaller and system care

use iobit uninstaller to remove ids and bosch at end of basic uninstall

select deep scan, then select shred files

next start iobit system care and do a registry scan, or better still a full scan

next manually delete the files bosch and ids in program files and in program date

then empty bin and shred files

reboot your machine and it will then allow a re install

Way 3: crack software by license files

How to crack Ford IDS software by License file?

1. Please don’t run the IDS software, before you install the License “Ford-License for IDS.exe”.2. If you can see the windows process “XMLRegistryD.exe” in the windows task manager, then kill the windows process “XMLRegistryD.exe” before you run the “Ford-License for IDS.exe” License.

   When you install the License “Ford-License for IDS.exe”, you may see” Can’t run patch while IDS program is running.”, what should you do? Here is the answer.

   While you install the License “Ford-License for IDS.exe”, if you see the picture 1, then you should do the step 1, step 2, step 3.

   Step 1:Press the “windows key + R” of the keyboard, then display the picture 2:

Step 2: Input the “TASKMGR” into the textbox of “open (o)”, then display the picture 3:
Step 3: Kill the windows process “XMLRegistryD.exe”.
Step 4:Rerun the License “Ford-License for IDS.exe” .then directly display the picture 5.

The last…. it’s IMPORTANT for you to read something about IDS software license…

VCM2 license:

easy way to crack download any version from any where you like..

and just before opening ids. install deep freeze…restart..

then every time you get 3 days lic… you start ids enter your detial like dealer id,country.. etc.. it gives you 3 days licence..

hurry no playing with cmos date…
just don’t open IDS install deep freeze and no need to change cmos date every time

VXdiag licence:

is actually written on the hard drive and since the the VM is in non-persistent mode, it disappears as soon as you turn off the VM.

Remove non persistent mode. Get your license and put back the non persistent mode.

Make sure not to launch IDS while you do this

Ford Ids V91

VCM2 or VXDIAG VCX NANO Ford:

In my opinion VXdiag tools are crappy and not worth buying it.

Using vcm2 sp177-c1 I can communicate with all car and truck. But still have difficulty programming some pre 2010 truck / SUV.

On a side note, to save your time and avoid installation issues, you can go to Ford IDS software VMware without license issues:

As for IDS software, the license is for 3 days and users are told to install software freezing to enable you to use it for longer, what it means and how to do?

General explanation on 3 days license and how to do:

The story goes that with every install of ids you have so many days trial period to test it.

The hackers would make a patch to bypass the date registry so it never got requested.

Latest patch is v86.xx after that there are no patches, so v9.xx installs but gives 3 days evaluation (used to be 5 days on v7/v8.xx.

So now we have to somehow reverse the date 3 days.

Standard install will know that you’ve rolled back the date so won’t work unless you can completely remove the registry entries or reinstall windows (but who wants to do that eh 😕 ) so now they’ve invented a freeze program that you install first which basically allows you to roll back the date every 2/3 days and run ids again. The other option is to install vmware which can freeze and restore ids when you use it (like a restore point but no registry entries for rollback)

But you don’t need vmware if you install the freeze program correctly.
