DiagBox 8.xx mandatory move after 16.10.2015
 

This morning I operated DiagBox v7.76 with the network connected to the internet and noticed a message stating that DiagBox v7.xx will be unusable after 16 October 2015, and that I will have to install DVD 8 (DiagBox 8.xx)...

Well, to verify this news I turned DiagBox off, advanced the date on my computer to October 20th 2015 and sure enough, my previously working installation gave me the error "The communication card is incorrectly initialized. The tool must be restarted". Tried a couple of times, but to no avail..

With the date still advanced, I turned off DiagBox, disconnected the network then turned DiagBox on again, and it worked. See attached photos.

The moral of the story, to avoid errors, keep your network cable/card disconnected. In fact DiagBox seem to respond faster with network disconnected.

Tests were performed on; Notebook: HP Envy M6, CPU: intel i5, Ram: 8 GB, Hard Drive: 1 TB SSHD, Operating System: Windows 10 64bit running VMware Workstation 12 on which DiagBox 7.76 is installed on Windows 10 32bit / 4 GB RAM / 40 GB Drive Virtual Machine.

It's DiagBox v7.76 of maitresox or you have a original soft??

It seems to be looking for information when you start it. But after it starts, it runs at the same speed.
Simple..

My installation is patched by Maitresox, but I think it is irrelevant, because the message is from PSA.

We probably need to perform further testing.

Great job simple! i've seen that on mine too.
you maybe found the trick to keep our diagbox working after the 16/10/2015
Thanks.

We must get 8.XX installation cracked it's the only way, what about scarymistake, i don't follow news from him part.

******ly, it is not necessary.... I forwarded the date on the computer where DiagBox 7.77 is installed and it still worked..
Even if PSA blocks those who try to connect, just making sure that the network cable is disconnected is good enough... I think....., only time will tell.
