Need FORScan help asap

I have FORscan and have used it multiple times.
I bought the extended licence and never had a problem but now I can not make any changes because it says I need an extended licence, I load it (I think) and it still says I can not get it to allow me to make changes. need to make some changes before I take it to the dealer tonight
Can anyone help me out.

You bought an extended license and the license is still good? (E.G. you bought a one year license 17 months ago so now its expired.)

Is the date/time correct on the computer?

Just get the free 2 month license and try to input that to get you going.

you shouldn’t have to make forscan changes before you take it to the dealer. They won’t know what you changed.

I had the tailgate ajar message on the truck on every start up from when I tried to get that to work. Since it pops up at every start I didn't want them to see it.
I ended up generating a new temporary license and got it to work be would like to get my lifetime license to work again

Are you using the same laptop or device as when you originally got your lifetime license?
