  2. Navigate to OBDwiz > Settings > About > License > Activation > I am a new OBDLink user

    OBDwiz license activation screen. All the fields are blank.


  4. Click Finish to generate a new license and connect to OBDwiz. 


Too many activations? 

OBDwiz comes with three activations. You may run into problems if you attempt to install OBDwiz on more than three computers. If this happens, OBDwiz will show you an error message: This code cannot be activated because there are too many activations for this code. 

In this case, please email [email protected] with your activation code.
