Default Forscan Issues!

  • UPDATE: It has come to our attention that FORScan is a Russian-owned company and therefore, due to sanctions related to the war in Ukraine, is currently experiencing issues with sales and support. For now, the company says, it “will continue to provide regular support to paid users, [but] only for installation, licensing or connection issues.”
Is there any other software that is available to make changes to the Ford F150? I can not even get an activation code to activate Forscan or even let me register to their forum to ask for one. This can be very concerning as they seem to be a Russian owned company and what they may be capable of doing with their software.

I applied for the free extended license agreement the other day and it came within hours.

Where is this "update" from? Everyone that uses FORScan knows that the developers are in Russia.

Yes, Russia has a mad plot to take over our vehicles.

This was discussed about a month ago: https://www.f150forum.com/f118/forsc...caperj-519038/

You should still be able to generate the free two month trial license. https://forscan.org/support/prepare_...st.php?lang=en

I just recently generated a trial license so it still works. What I am bummed out about is no lifetime licenses, but that disappeared a while back.

Pulled up to the gas pump the other day and the fuel door wouldn't open until I moved over to the E85 pump. Then got a warning message on the dash to only fuel with vodka.
