Only 2017 and up will require LSID in order to get key access. Older models don't require this. There's a machine that can do 2018 models and bypasses the LSID, it looks like the same process as the older models. I have not encountered one yet because we don't do new models, only older ones. I found a very stable 101.04 vmware version and have been using it for almost 2 years. But I can't do newer models. Also, it requires you to update the VCMII software, I haven't found a stable vmware yet like the one I have. But I might try this one because jessmann007 does the same process when the date and time get changed. All I have to do is unrar, reinstall new and delete old files. Easy!

Anyone have a newer version of this? I only find 109 but they are being sold on ebay. I want the new 111.05 version vmware if possible. Thanks again!
