Adding Subscription Option Codes

Subscription Option Codes unlock functions in the ALLDATA® RepairSM (DVD) program. 

  • Each code unlocks a different part of the program that your shop has subscribed to.

  • Depending on your shop's subscription type, you will be given 1 - 4 codes.

  • These codes can be found on the orange installation instructions that came with the installation disc(s), or can be given to you by a Customer Support representative.

To add the codes:

  7. Enter the next 16-character code to the field left of the Validate Code button.

  8. Repeat Steps 3 - 6 untill all the codes are entered.

  9. Once all of the codes are entered, click the OK button on the top right corner.

  10. Verify the codes have been accepted by going to the main screen and clicking on Data >> Subscription >> Subscription Information.
