CDR Software Version 10.0

The CDR Software is available to download as a free reader version. Once downloaded and installed, you may activate the reader version to the full-functioning version by purchasing a one-year subscription license. It is important to keep your CDR software current so ensure you are using the latest released CDR software version. Staying current keeps you up to date with the most recently supported vehicles and ensures that imaged EDR data is being translated with the most current information provided by the auto manufacturers.

CDR Software Subscription

Unleash all capabilities of the CDR software by purchasing a CDR software subscription. Once you become a subscriber, you will be sent an Activation Certificate each time a new release of CDR software becomes available during your subscription period. The Activation Certificate is used to turn on all capabilities of the CDR software and allow you to image crash data from supported vehicles.

NOTE: CDR software subscriptions do not include CDR hardware release updates. All CDR hardware release updates will need to be purchased separately.

Each new CDR Software release includes new capabilities and functions which enable you to access crash data from the latest passenger cars, light trucks and SUVs. As the capabilities in supported vehicles evolve software changes may be required for your CDR Tool in order to enable communication with and translate crash data from these vehicles.

Activation Certificates

The CDR software uses an Activation Certificate to 'turn on' functions available only to subscribers. An Activation Certificate is needed for every new version of CDR software therefore, when a new software version becomes available, the Bosch License Manager System emails all current subscribers a new activation certificate along with installation instructions.

Activation certificates are obtained by purchasing or renewing software subscription. When you purchase a software subscription, you will receive an email from Bosch Diagnostics (SEE BELOW) that include the Activation Certificate file and full instructions for activating your CDR File Reader Software.

CDR Activation Certificate

The Activation Certificate has the file extension ".CTF". Activation Certificates are simple text files which include information about your subscription. Although a certificate file can be changed using a text editor, it should not be because it will become unusable for future activations if the contents of the file are changed.

Bosch recommends that subscribers keep their Activation Certificates just in case they need to reinstall their software on a new machine or deactivate software on one machine and re-activate on another. Activation certificates can only be used for CDR software versions they are created for.
