which release, the 2.4 branch? That release allows you to flash in new calibrations, which is a fairly dangerous process... The forscan team is pretty clear about every step you need to take, including using an obdlink ex exclusively, to upgrade things. Failure to do so may result in a hiccup during flashing, leaving you with an undriveable vehicle. And, the forscan crew makes it pretty clear that, if you b0rk your ride by not following the process to the letter, they will simply laugh at you.
2.3.44
OBD Link EX is 95 Canadian Ouch if its 45 US
I see they also support vlinker fs as well. Both are priced about the same

It's currently $49.95 on Amazon with a $5 coupon at the moment. 95 moose-bucks seems awful steep. I've got an EX and an MX... I bought the EX planning to flash my truck, since I couldn't get the dealer to actually do their jobs and flash my TCM to address a hard N/D engagement concern and hung 3/4 shift, but then they surprised me and, on the first visit of the Great Cam Phaser/Wastegate Rattle Debacle of 2021 (I'm only a little grumpy), they actually flashed every module up to current.

Latest version of forscan, same ELM adapter as you. Never had any previous issues with my F-150. Hoping the "run as admin" workaround does the trick for me.
