i used v86 to program my cluster swap. I tried using my vmware with xp from my macbook but had some trouble which is why i used an old xp box instead. i coudlnt risk screwing up somehow during that process (not that xp is very good anyway)

i dont remember how or what i did for activation i believe it came with it.

I don't have access to a xp box. But I use VMware to talk to lots of instruments and plc's at work. I have 7 ultimate on my laptop

Windows 7 works. Just make sure you execute everything as administrator

Check with the guy you bought it from. They should have the stuff needed.

I have a clone version with 86 but I can't get it to work anymore and I've tried the extend program and I'm using an XP laptop. It worked fine when I first got it. I just gave up on it. I bought it originally to switch to a premium instrument cluster which I also never bought because of the VCMII issues.

Running into issues to purchased cluster and shifter and I can not get the vcm II to work. Running windows 7 ultimate using VMware I can see the vcm II in vcm manager but when I start ids it states reactivate license I hit cancel and it does not show the vcm II attached. I am so frustrated. Can anyone point me in the right direction. ids is v100
