What is FORScan?
General description of SOFTWARE that bidirectionally reads codes, modules, and As Built Data of Fords

(Video) 2020 2021 2022 Ford Super duty Tremor How to install Morimoto XB LED fog lights A Simple easy way.

FORScan is software synthesized from proprietary code for bi-directional communication with electronic modules in Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, and a limited number of Mazda vehicles.
As the name implies, FORScan only works on Ford's family of vehicle lines.
At the basic level, FORScan can read and clear legislated Diagnostic Trouble Codes of emissions related components that illuminate the Malfunction Indicator Lamp.
FORScan can also read and clear DTCs stored in memory for non emissions related Ford proprietary chassis modules that are not legislated and that basic OBDII readers cannot detect.
Beyond DTCs, FORScan can also monitor Parameter IDs (PIDS) in real time as the vehicle is operating, providing diagnostic information similar to an OEM scan tool.
More versatile than pro scan tools, FORScan works with Windows laptops, iOS devices, Android devices, and Android stereo head units for portability and even full time vehicle integration
In concert with a tablet or aftermarket head unit, FORScan can facilitate another "gauge panel" displaying PIDS and vehicle data not available to be seen in the instrument panel.
The monitored data captured by FORScan can be downloaded onto a spreadsheet or graph, synchronized in time to create data recordings of notable performance changes during driving events.
However, the ULTIMATE in utilizing FORScan in 2011 and newer Ford trucks is vehicle personalization, enabling and customizing factory features hidden in trucks network of modules.

Why is FORScan such a BIG DEAL?
What are people doing with FORScan on their brand new warrantied vehicles?

In a nutshell, new vehicle features and functions can be customized using FORScan.
People have capitalized on FORScan's ability to read, write, and change As Built data in vehicle system modules.
For manufacturing efficiencies, the same component module might be installed in multiple vehicles and trim levels, yet function differently based solely on software settings, per the options ordered.
Many "options/features" are ENABLED on higher trim levels, but are DISABLED or not available on lower trim levels.
By changing the data in the As Built area of the modules, these "options/features" can become available and activated on vehicles not originally equipped with the option.

What kinds of COOL CHANGES can be made with FORScan?

What is DIFFERENCE between Free versus Paid Extended Licenses?
Paid Extended Licenses last longer, and are much easier to set up with Activation Code
`

FORScan instructions use words "Activation Code" and "License Key" interchangeably
However, a difference exists between what Activation Code vs License Key really mean
This difference is an important factor that distinguishes a paid license from a free license
All Extended Licenses require a key for each hardware device FORScan is enabled on
Free License Keys must be manually prepared, generated, downloaded, and installed
Activation Codes automate and simplify the manual process of setting up license key
Activation Codes are only issued for Paid licenses, and are valid for license duration
Free licenses require manual generation and installation of License Key (No Activation Code)
Free licenses must be renewed every 2 months, and require FORScan Forum membership
There are no other functional differences between free versus paid Extended Licenses.

How do I ACQUIRE an Extended License for FORScan?
LITE users see App / Play store. Windows users read Standard and Extended Licenses for Windows
`

To acquire a Free 2 Months Trial Extended License for Windows:
- One must first Register to become member of FORSCan.org forum to log in to Extend License
- After registering, open FORScan and select the Steering Wheel Icon in bottom left corner of screen
- The FORScan About page will show the Standard License Hardware ID. Click Copy To Clipboard.
- IMPORTANT NOTE: Look up Hardware ID on the computer used to directly connect with vehicle. If FORScan is loaded on both a desktop (to review logs) as well as a laptop (to connect to vehicle), then it is essential to use the Hardware ID from the laptop to register for any type of Extended License, because the laptop is the computer used to connect to vehicle. However, the laptop does not have to be actually connected to the vehicle in order to get the Hardware ID.
- Generate Trial Extended License using this link on FORScan's website: Generate Trial License
- (FORScan requests First & Last Name, Contact Phone Number, and Hardware ID as derived above)
- After license key is successfully generated, click on the Download link in the Action row of the table presented and download the license key to any file on computer that you can locate later for install.
- It is not necessary to immediately "install" the license directly from the link where license key was obtained.
`

General Notes on installing Extended License Key / Activation Code
- An internet connection is required on device to be licensed at the moment of activation
- Once activated, FORScan no longer requires any internet connection on device to use the software
- The Activation Code / License Key file should be kept safe, in the event FORScan needs re-activating again
- One License Key per single PC. Another way in which "License Key" and "Activation Code" terms are distinguished:
- Multiple License Keys can be ordered at once for each PC, to be conveniently linked by using the same Activation Code.
- Choose any one of the Four Methods described below to Install License. Only one method need be used, not all Four, but if one method doesn't work, try another.
`
