I tried on windows 10 and windows 7. Thanks for the input. I wonder what's wrong with my setup. It used to work fine.

i had an issue with my vcm2 and after calling tech support it turned out to be the internet option setting somehow got changed and was blocking my connection to their server for module programming.So i had a good locksmith friend check my device with his laptop and it worked.So he took pictures of the settings and send them to me and i set everything the same and presto it worked!I’ll send you pics and hopefully that will take care of your issue.

Anybody else having problems programing Ford PCMs this week? I've failed on 3 different vehicles. This is with version 124. I can read DTCs, go through the VIN check process, and see the message for the current and new available calibration. After the key on / off messages the program says it can't communicate with the module check, the connections. Sometimes it says a different module has the incorrect vin, which isn't accurate. This happens with both module reprogramming and PMI. I've tried reinstalling the program and drivers, different USB cables, 2 different laptops, and a Maxisys pass through as well as a Tactrix cable. The vehicles were all running and one was my work van. There is not much left in the system to swap out.

Are you using windows 10 Pro 64 bit?

I'm considering getting into this field.  I have some eeprom equipment, top of the line soldering, and hot air station,  and key programming equipment.  I'm thinking that an Autel scan tool is next in line.  My first question on which tool in the Autel line has the most module swapping capabilities?  Do I need the Maxisys Elite?  Should I get the one with j2534 pass-thru interface, or should I buy the AEZ Flasher2 Separately?  Do I need OEM programmers? 

i personally have the AEZ Flasher2 and use it for GM mostly and so far it works flawless. And tech support is awsome with AE Tools full tech support for the life of tool.Ford ford i use IDS which i highly recommend.The max-sys with passthru from alot of garages that own them and they still call me to reflash modules.I guess it’s a learning curve for them.
