How To Use Avdi On More Than One Pc?
Most of the Abrites Ltd. customers tend to use AVDI on more than one computers. For example, they use one computer to work on cars directly, and another one for the "on the bench" jobs. So how do you use AVDI and the Abrites Diagnostic Software on more than one computer?
All you need to do is copy the installation files you got from your dealer, transfer them to the other computer you want to use them on and install them there, as well.
You will require internet connection on both computers for the installation but this can be useful since you can open your e-mail and download the installation software from your e-mail directly, instead of transferring the software using different methods. According to the time the update was received you can have the exact same version of the software on both computers and the two software version will be able to update over the internet.
