Thank you so much!

I am attempting to get FDRS running but it is continuously failing when I enter the 20 character activation code. I have tried FRDS, FJDS & even IDS…. Is there a trick to get it to activate…? I got the 2 day subscription and the email receipt with the code so it looks like it all went through correctly….

Yes, that is what I did too. I have uninstalled/reinstalled 3 times with fresh downloads of the FRDS package. The license is showing as "Available" in the Helm system... Just get these messages:





The Mongoose J2534 is working fine. Can use it with FORScan without issue. I don't think it even comes into the equation though at this point of validating the FRDS license...

And nobody to call since they don't work weekends. Looks like a waste of $50...

Looks like you are using dealer/employee as a login type. Unless you are sure you want to do that, you may want to use another selection in the login type dropdown box. That may be your issue.

When I launch FRDS, it immediately pops up the licensing window and those fields at the top cannot be changed. I am only given the option of Network Settings (says not to use unless Ford tells you to), Add License (which is failing) & Exit (exits FRDS).


There is no option to select anything else on the screen other than what is in the License Information pop-up window show above with the red text...

should be able to choose non-dealer.. probably got that login saved. When you uninstall and reinstall on first login does it give you an option?

No, it goes straight to the Licensing pop-up...

I am loading a new Win10Pro VM now from scratch to see if I can get this working. It may be that FRDS just does not want to run in a virtual machine on a Mac, although there are countless others doing so with no issue. If I can't get this to work, I can just send back the Mongoose-Plus J2534 interface and Pro-Logix charger for a refund and await a solution from Ford on the BC update to my '21 Job 1 truck...

I am using the listing of steps from the SW download site to install the needed components.



I install FRDS only in step 1. When I tried opening FDRS, it says VCI is required, so I install that as outlined in step 2. Step 3 is not needed since IDS isn't installed. Step 4 isn't needed as I am not using a VCMM...

AM I missing something obvious...?
