Dataman 48XP questions.

Postby lonewolf » 12 Feb 2020 15:51

I have the chance to purchase a second hand Dataman 48XP.
I like the look of the Dataman programmers but cannot justify the purchase of a new high end products as I'm only a hobbyist starting out.

From looking around the website what I can gather is that the 48XP has an option to purchase a 2 year £150 license for new software updates. There seems to be 2 versions of the software, version 12.0 and version 8.32.

If I was to purchase the programmer would I be able to use version 8.32?
I assume I would need to purchase the software license to use version 12?
If I purchased the software license what happens when it expires?
Does the version 12 software stop working and I would be downgraded to version 8.32 again?

The second hand version has version 5 software with it.
What do you think is a reasonable price to pay?

Any help is much appreciated.

Struggling to find the information.

Hello lonewolf,

Thank you for posting in our users forum. Let me try and answer your questions below:

> If I was to purchase the programmer would I be able to use version 8.32?
Yes, version 8.32 will always work with any 48XP programmer, you are however limited to running it under Windows 98SE, Windows ME, Windows 2000 and Windows XP only.

> I assume I would need to purchase the software license to use version 12?
Yes, this correct.

>If I purchased the software license what happens when it expires?
>Does the version 12 software stop working and I would be downgraded to version 8.32 again?
The 2 year software license gives you access to all of the updates within a 2 year period, at the end of this period you can continue to use the last supported software version indefinitely.

I hope this helps, but if you have any further questions please do not hesitate to ask.

Best regards,
