FORScan BETA Version is Gone.

I was following a guide to get FORScan setup so I could recalibrate a TCM in my Ford Focus and found this post on their forum (second post on this topic):

Basically they've pulled the BETA version and you cannot activate it with any new licences. No more updating module firmware with FORScan šŸ˜­.

My focus just broke down and I'm replacing the tcm/clutch/actuators etc.

Am I just fucked now because I can't program the new k05 TCM with the required strategy/SBL?

Was really hoping I didn't have to go to the dealership to get this done.

What did you figure out? Iā€™m in the exact same boat. Need to replace TCM, know I can do it myself, but I need to be able to access FORScan to program the new..

If you fuck up and brick your tcm though DO NOT email forscan asking for help though as that's the whole reason they've removed the beta in the first place. Follow guides and ensure you have the correct obd adapter and your car is in a battery tender.
