MaxScan GS500 Update Software: A Troubleshooting Guide

The MaxScan GS500 is a powerful diagnostic tool that can help you diagnose and repair various vehicle problems. However, some users may encounter issues when updating the software or registering their device. In this article, we will discuss common problems and provide solutions to get your MaxScan GS500 up and running smoothly.

Software Update Issues

One of the most common issues with the MaxScan GS500 is that it cannot update its software. This problem is usually caused by the machine's older management program. To fix this issue, you need to download the latest System Program via PC Suit and then insert an SD card into the machine.

Registration Problems

Another common issue is that the product has been registered, but it still prompts for a serial number or cannot be upgraded. If you input the correct registration code, but still receive an error message 'Product not found,' please take a photo of your serial number and registration code and send it to our technical support team to check if there are any mismatches in the product management information.

Registration Code Issues

If you encounter a registration failure, the common reason is that you have input an incorrect registration code. Please note that the registration code is six figures (which can be found on the About page) and not your login password.

Software Backup and Restoration

To avoid losing your software in case of a problem, please copy the original software stored in the SD card to a computer or other storage devices. When you need to update your software, simply copy it back to the SD card and use it directly.

Update FAQ

When the software free update period expires, you may encounter an issue where the software no longer works. There are two solutions to this problem:

* The first solution is to register your device on Autel's official website and download the latest software program via the machine or connect PC Suit to Autel's server.

* The second solution is to copy the original software from another machine, but please note that this method may lead to authorization issues or WiFi MAC mismatches.
