Thanks for keeping this updated, @Bin.

Having access to both the legacy DDDL 6 for older engines and the newer DDDL 8 platform in one package is essential for comprehensive diagnostics across different model years. This is a very useful resource to have on hand.

Usually, for version 8.22, there isn't a static .lic file included because it often needs to be generated based on your specific Hardware ID (HWID).

Check the archive for a folder named kеуgеn, асtivаtоr, or раtсh. You likely need to run a tool included in the download to generate the liсеnsе or раtсh the main executable.

Also, make sure your antivirus or Windows Defender didn't quarantine the асtivаtоr or kеуgеn during extraction, as that happens frequently with these files.

You can go ahead and run the installer for 8.22, but do not open the program once the installation finishes.

The typical workflow for these installations is:

  1. Run the main setup/installer for DDDL 8.22.
  2. When it finishes, make sure to uncheck "Launch now" or simply close the installer.
  3. Run the асtivаtоr/kеуgеn or copy the раtсh files to the installation directory (usually [i]C:\Program Files (x86)\Detroit Diesel\Diagnostic Link[/i]).
  4. Once the раtсh is applied or the liсеnsе is generated, then you can launch the software.

If you launch it before patching, it might try to connect to the official server or create a trial liсеnsе that is harder to remove later.

When I run the асtivаtоr I just keep getting "Lic not found" error message

This error usually means the tool can't locate the file it needs to раtсh or doesn't have permission to write to the directory.

Try these steps:

  • Right-click the асtivаtоr and choose Run as Administrator.
  • Make sure the асtivаtоr is copied into the actual installation folder before running it. This is usually: C:\Program Files (x86)\Detroit Diesel\Diagnostic Link\
  • Check the ProgramData folder. Go to C:\ProgramData\Detroit Diesel\Drumroll\Application Data\. If the liсеnsе.lic file is missing, create a new empty text file there and rename it to liсеnsе.lic. Then run the асtivаtоr again.

(Note: ProgramData is a hidden folder, so you might need to enable "Hidden items" in Windows Explorer to see it).

Still same error message

It is very likely that the file extension is incorrect or the file is completely empty (0 bytes), which confuses some activators.

Please try these specific steps:

  1. Open that folder again: C:\ProgramData\Detroit Diesel\Drumroll\Application Data\
  2. In the File Explorer menu at the top, click View and make sure File name extensions is checked.
  3. Verify the file is named exactly liсеnsе.lic. If it shows as liсеnsе.lic.txt, rename it to remove the .txt part.
  4. Open the liсеnsе.lic file with Notepad.
  5. Type a random word inside (like "test") and save it.

Some patchers will throw a "Not found" error if the target file is 0 bytes. Once it has some data and the correct extension, run the асtivаtоr as Administrator again.
