LAUNCH X431 PRO Prompts Purchase Software: Do I need to Buy it?

 Question: I have a LAUNCH X431 PRO (V5.0) and want to diagnose a 2024 Hyundai Tucson and a 2026 MG HS. When I try to connect or clear codes, the device prompts me to purchase the software separately; can’t I do this directly?


LAUNCH X431 PRO Prompts Purchase Software_Do I need to Buy it

Answer: You are working on a 2026 model vehicle. If your subscription has expired, the software likely needs to be renewed and updated to the latest version to support it.

If your subscription is still active, you do not need to purchase the software separately; you can simply dismiss the prompt and download the latest software to perform the diagnosis.
