If youre not ready for an interface upgrade, youll have to use VCDS-Lite instead. If youre a registered user and have an older low-tech interface, you should consider our interface upgrade program. It does not work with any third-party interfaces or some of the older low-tech interfaces we made and sold before 2004. That include all genuine HEX-, KEY-, KII-, or Micro-CAN series Interface of interfaces. Release 18.9 must be used with a licensed Ross-Tech interface. Windows 95, 98, ME, and NT4 definitely will not work.
Windows running in a VM (Parallels, Virtual Box, etc) may work but is not supported.
If wish to use VCDS on a computer with this Student version of Windows, youll need to upgrade it to Windows 10 Pro. VCDS does not work on Windows 10 S, which does not allow software to be installed from any source other than the Microsoft Store.
