Purchase & Delivery

What do I receive after purchase?

You will receive exactly what is specified in the respective product description: the download link for the software and a step-by-step installation guide in German.

How quickly will I receive my download link?

After payment is received, your order is automatically sent to the email address you provided at checkout – usually immediately after purchase. Since the email contains a link, please also check your spam folder. Ensure you provide a valid email address when ordering.

How do I download the software?

You download the software directly from our cloud server – no torrents, just a direct download. The file size depends on the specific version and is stated in the product description.

How long do I have access to the download link?

You have 30 days to download your purchase and save it to your computer. After 30 days, the link will no longer be available. This period is limited because cloud storage and bandwidth incur ongoing costs.

Is there shipping?

No, all products are purely digital. Delivery is free worldwide via email.

What payment methods are available?

You pay securely via the Shopify checkout, for example using PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or credit card.

Can I return digital products?

For digital content, the right of withdrawal expires if you have expressly agreed before purchase that delivery will begin immediately and the download has been provided. Please therefore read the product description carefully before purchasing. In the event of technical problems, we will naturally assist you in finding a solution. All details can be found in our cancellation policy.

I cannot connect to the vehicle – what should I do?

All products include a PDF guide that explains how to set up your ICOM, K+DCAN, or ENET cable.

For the remote session, you need a stable internet connection and sufficient free disk space.
