Straight from the FORScan web page.

What's new in FORScan

I 100% agree with the sanctions, but this still sucks. The FORSCAN crew are top notch and amazing to deal with. Here is where politics suck! The average citizen making an honest living is getting screwed.

It is very frustrating for sure. I delayed purchasing an extended license and now my delaying has bitten me in the a** it appears...

You can do the 2 month indefinitely, just have to keep submitting. It is annoying, but I know several doing it. I am about to because my 2 years is about to expire. I just hope this crap ends soon, because this might kill FORSCAN.

I don't understand why people wouldn't just pay the $50 for lifetime and $50 for the connector but, they will pay over $200 for a good scanner that can't do even a 1/10 of what FORScan can do.

Yes, you can get FORScan free, but you have to keep reapplying and Like @LokiWolf said it's a pain. Bottom line is what is your time worth? $50 and I never will deal with it again or let it keep costing me my valuable time. I mean hell I spend well over $50 going out to dinner so I will just eat a sandwich one night and pay for it.

When I first got on FORScan I bought lifetime. Even if I don't have a ford anymore there are plenty of them that my family and friends have that I diagnose for.

P S: The connector goes on sale couple times a year on Amazon, and you can get it cheaper. I got mine for $35.

Well looks like the connectors have gone up to $60. But like i said they go on sale.

Yeah, I'm an idiot. I paid for 2 years. Should have paid for lifetime. Sadly now, you can't pay at all.

I've been poking around in the Forscan site today, and it appears they no longer offer a Lifetime license. And what apparently was a 2-year paid, is now a 1-year paid - for $12.00.
