Power FC Laptop Software

[aqik33]

Does anyone know where to get the Power FC laptop software from??

I would make tuning a heap easier, but I cant seem to find it!!

It's very very very expensive and all in Japanese.

It's available at a few tuning places in the Australia, but not for sale, only for use.

You need to be specially trained by Apex in Japan for them to sell it to you.

Datalogit however, is cheap!

Do a search on Laptop Power FC

if you find it, make a copy for me

I dont think its copyable.. You need a dongle or something... and i dont think any crackers could be really bothered with it.

..and its probably also coded for each individual workshop.

As the numbers are pretty small they can probably keep track of it.. If one copy was to "leak" then it will fairly easly be tracked by serial number back to the workshop it was licensed too. You can imagine they wouldn't be supported / licensed for too much longer after that.

Why cant Apexi do what Autronic do and give out the software for free.. I mean its not like anyone is going to use the PFC software on a microtec LOL

Well its obvious really, theres a boatload of money to be made from the tuning franchises (PowerExcel)

Like everything there are ways around dongles, which is just a socket you stick in 1 of ur input slots to verify you are the user it is registered to (used these all the time with registered versions of AutoCAD)

the dongle's simple to make, and it has been cracked... that's all I'll say. don't ask me how or where to get it as I won't help you.

You're a tease.

Translated: I've been able to get a copy and make the fittings, but don't bother asking me for a copy or how to do the attachment as I won't give it to you..

Call a spade a spade.

The AutoCAD dongles were cracked years ago

Why pay $8000-$10,000 for a registered copy of AutoCAD when you can get a cracked copy from china for $5

hehe interpret it how you want, i'm just tryin to save myself the countless PM's I'll get about it, while trying to be as informative as possible.

Maybe once I finish reading this japanese Power FC tuning manual I might try my hand at some amature tuning. I mean if I can program EEPROM's to control servo motors depending on sensors this shouldn't be that hard

What do you do for a job?

We use servos all the time here......

I'm a networks engineer, but my first few years of uni were spent studying biomedical engineering, specialising in mechatronics fun fun fun

If you wanted to save yourself PMs you wouldn't have posted what you did.

p.s. You have P.M.

... or read "nur nur i have it you don't cause i'm good but i want you to know anyhow"

[funkymonkey]

*sigh* i jus wanted to let you guys know that if you look in the right places its not that hard at all to buy yourself a copy... here's a hint... find out the japanese term for "Power FC Communication Software" then google it, somewhere in there is a post on a japanese BBS by a guy selling it for a touch over a grand (and instructions on how to make the dongle).

I'm not trying to rub anyone's nose in it. If I hadn't posted what I did would you have known that it was cracked or that it was available to purchase through dubious sources?

If that's what I get for tryin to help you guys out then I'll just keep shit to myself next time.

Funky if you get a spare 30 seconds email me the program effye@yahoo.com and I will crack it myself My flat mate has just about finished his degree in Mechatronics engineering at uni so Im sure we can organise something
