Ford vcm2 ids installation FAQs:
Q: i get error that licence is out of date. but vcm is pound in pc. lights is on
A: This is because your version of IDS doent match you computers date!
try changing to the right date,and check if it works!
Q: How to know what date must be. tried to backup date 3 days. but same error
A: If you already installed IDS in your system you will find it hard to get any amount of days now in the same machine without reinstall windows unless use vmware .
Q: can anyone help install ids? share working one.
A: You will not find one to work on windows xp32bit unless you install native
However because you already tired in that Xp system , you will need to Wipe that HDD and completely reinstall windows to install ids again there, UNLESS You install only version 86 IDS
i think you should change your system to 64bit so you can use one of the many vmware that are in the forum or just install version 86 native where you are now
IMPORTANT TIP- especially for beginners
It is time-consuming for Vcm2 ids software installation. It takes 1-2 hour(s). Also, it’s kind of difficult to install ids for running no issues.
So, you can use VMware with IDS V101 like SP239 or SP239-B; the items comes with a CD with vmware + installed ids; that is, you DO NOT need install IDS yourself & avoid installation issues.
With VCM2 clone units like Ford IDS V101 (SP177) and IDS v100 (SP177-C, SP177-C1, SP177-C2), you need install IDS software on your own, shown as below
