^That looks totally different from my FoxAssist interface. Are you on a Mac or is that a browser account interface for Foxwell?

That is the FoxAssist application running on my PC. Not the website. But it looks exactly like the website. I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it 4 times. Still looks like that.

FoxAssist vs https://www.foxwelltech.us/ website

I get a different screen than you do, also; I'm using Windows 10 on my home-built PC, and the https://www.foxwelltech.us/ website.

Did you receive an SD card reader with your 530? or do you have one already? I used the one I got from Foxwell to insert the SD card into my PC and to the https://www.foxwelltech.us/ website, and didn't plug the scan tool directly into the PC. Then, after conducting registration & software purchase/downloads are completed, I remove the SD card from the reader, and put it back into the scan tool. Here's a screenshot of the members page:

That's the correct version number. :thumbup:

Here is what I see when I hook up the 530 to the PC, and click update on the 530. It already has the serial number on here, but there is no activate option anywhere.

Okay I logged into the website and that screen shot you posted was from that. Don't use the website at all once you have registered. Just open the FoxAssist program and follow the directions I posted.

The SD card needs to be in the unit. Open FoxAssist, hook up the USB cable to your PC and then to the Foxwell 530. After the 530 boots up, navigate to "Update" on it. Once you select that your PC will notify you of a USB drive connected and FoxAssist will populate the serial number and drive capacity information. From there you'd select Download on FoxAssist (if you've activated the serial number to your account already) and update the 530. The 530 needs to stay in that "Update" mode until you've completed doing everything.

That is the issue I am having with FoxAssist. I am logging onto the application by clicking on the FoxAssist icon on my desktop, and it goes to the page that you are seeing. It looks EXACTLY like the website. I don't understand why it is doing that.

different models, different methods, acceptable results

When I first registered my Nt510e on 1-20-2021, I did use FoxAssist to register, but it was via a different version, and it wouldn't recognize my username/password when I tried again, a few minutes later. I think my first connection may've been done with the unit attached to the PC (I have the FoxAssist program on the PC, so I must've used it); I don't remember why I didn't update the programming at that time, before I disconnected.

Realizing my error, that's when I had the problem logging back in, with the unit plugged into the PC, so in desperation, I removed the SD card and tried again, via card reader. Eventually, I was able to log-in, and finished updating the software, via the website. And later on, in May, I used the SD/card reader method to add the BMW software.

Maybe I used a backdoor approach, but the results were the same as if I had done as in the video...it worked for me. YMMV
