Etka 7.2 expired but updated

[alessioblaupunkt]

Dear experts,

I have Etka 7.2 Lexconn version on my Win Vista, downloaded on 07/2010.
It worked fine since January 2011, then it starts to tell me: "Brand Seat is expired."
Etka will update fine but one month ago it tells me all brand are expired and cannot be used.

So I uninstalled the program , I've removed all ETKA key in regedit file but If I install the same or a new version of Etka it doesn't work because, again, all brand are expired. Etka start to update since vw8050, don't know why.

I think there are some keys in the registry that must be deleted.

I have exactly the same problem: Message, you must install version 7.3 before update can be done !!!

Is there a solution?

Really your computer tells you must install version 7.3?

Fortunately my computer don't ask me this.
It might prefer a new DDR2 memory bank.

I don't know which key or file contain the first Etka installation date, and everytime I install (many different version) Etka it says it's valid untill 07/2010.
In fact it doesn't work because "All brand are expired", but update work, it start download from vw8050, then it's still expired. I don't know if it will download update again.

Well I installed ETKA 7.2 on my Vista laptop 6 months ago only because ETKA 7.0 stopped updating and it updates every weekend without fail. There is nothing in the About that says anything about expiry dates only.

ETKA 7.2.0.431 (22)
Copyrite LEXCOM Informationssysteme GmbH
Update: 851/408 Volkswagen (29/03/2011-21/06/2011)
Hardlock: Serial=478773
DLL: 1.80 Drv: 3.83 Windows XP Service Pack 2 (5.1)

I have ETKA 7.3 on my desktop but thats never updated for the past week its been installed.

If you want to use ETKA 7.2 in the future you must reset your date from your PC to the past.

If you want to use further updates you must install ETKA 7.3. Only then the new updates could be installed.

But you can't change the date on Vista it won't let you.

Plus I can't find any descent downloads of ETKA 7.3 as they don't come with all 4 manufacturers installed.

I did well last year with ETKA work. Online Updates. Unfortunately, it does not anymore. What is the best thing to do. A new version is 7.2 or repair

So you're not running ETKA 7.2 then?

Thats the same with mine Freddy 7.2 doesn't update, you just have to find a good copy of ETKA 7.3 as it says.

Repairing won't make any difference.
