I have posted my problem on the Forscan forum; however their method does not work.
ANYONE else have this problem, or is it just me ?? I have watched videos, I have read along using the example on the forum- my computer does not let me open the file- I know, you do not have to open it, but it will not do anything else but say Windows cannot open this file.
Anyone else????
TIA !
It has been awhile since I messed with FORscan but I don't remember any major steps in activating the extended license. I do need to make the turn signal change to five flashes so maybe I will fire up my laptop and see what I have to do.

It isn't just you, I promise. First off, I'm not a computer guy, and don't know what half of what's being said even means. And I could not get the extended license either. I took it in the shorts and paid our local dealer $90 and had them activate the trailer brake controller.

I made this guide the other day. Maybe it will help on extended licensing issues.

THIS method worked for me. I was unable to locate the file on my computer, and all the other writeups did not match what I was seeing.
Thank you very much! I got my trailer brake control working in about 1 minute!
I am saving this method for the extension on the extended file later after it needs an extension..........

............and while we're here, is it possible to activate global windows on my 2014 Screw?? Many videos show it on other Fords, but I have not come across this yet. This would be the ultimate setup, I believe!

From what I've seen, that couldn't be done until the 2015 model.

We don't have the drivers and passenger door modules so no global window support built in.

Bummer - too bad, as I see it works in , for example, a 2013 Focus, so, why did they cut us out of the loop????
Thanks for the replies!!

Trucks always get the tech last. When people buy cars they are looking for luxury and there are a lot more options out there. When people buy trucks they are, generally, looking to tow/haul things and there are only 4-5 options for trucks. If people stopped buying them and demanded the latest tech (although it is getting better with the recent gen trucks and tech) than they would add it, but if someone is willing to spend $40-$50k with old tech, why put the new stuff in it right away? If they delay then that person that spent $40-$50k will want to upgrade sooner so now they made more money.
