    Default VCX NANO GM Expired licences workaround

    Just a little heads up for anyone interested .....
    Bought one of these for my Astra J and Corsa D in 2019
    Works really well for me, contrary to most reports around !
    Plugged it in yesterday to use the parking brake service mode, and found the licence expired dec 2020,
    Thought this may happen but just forgot about the issue.
    Simple solution ,don't update the VCXNANO firmware with VX Manager 1.8.*.*.... ,null and voids GDS2, guess how I found out !
    Luckily uninstalled it and went back too 1.6.*.* (original VX mgr)
    It then reverts to original FW by updating back to 1.6.6.0.
    Put the date on the laptop back to 2020 and voila all working again

    Mind you the new modifed OPCOM by Mr F is very good for all the electronics DIY'ers

    Cheers all
