HWID: CA964E355E12DEE3xDecoder 14.0 — Official Discussion Thread
This thread is intended for license activation requests, technical support, compatibility reports, bug reports and update announcements for xDecoder.
The current release is xDecoder 14.0, featuring expanded support for Bosch, Continental, Delphi, Siemens and Visteon ECUs used by BMW, Ford, Iveco, VAG, PSA, Renault, Nissan and Dacia vehicles.
License Activation
To request activation:
- Download and fully extract the current xDecoder package.
- Run START-xDecoder.exe.
- Copy the displayed 16-character Hardware Identifier.
- Reply to this thread and post your HWID.
- Wait for your personal .reg license file to be issued.
- Close xDecoder before installing the license.
- Download the supplied .reg file and double-click it.
- Confirm that the license information may be added to the Windows Registry.
- Launch the program again using START-xDecoder.exe.
Each license is generated for one specific HWID. A registry file issued for another computer will not work.
The filename of your license will be based on your own hardware identifier and will therefore be different for every user.
If the Hardware Identifier window appears again after importing the registry file, post the newly displayed HWID together with a screenshot of the activation window.

SID803 note: Modifications are applied to the MPC file, but both the MPC and external flash files are required for complete decoding.
MD1CS069 note: Additional original files are still useful for broader testing and compatibility verification.
Technical Support and Bug Reports
When reporting a problem, include as much of the following information as possible:
- xDecoder version
- Vehicle manufacturer and model
- ECU manufacturer and exact ECU type
- Hardware and software identification
- BIN file size and reading method
- ECU reading tool used
- Screenshot of the xDecoder window
- Exact error message or unexpected behavior
- Whether the file was detected correctly
- Operation selected before the problem occurred
Do not publicly attach customer ECU files containing sensitive vehicle data unless a staff member specifically requests them.
Installation Notes
- Install version 14.0 into a new clean folder
- Do not combine files from different xDecoder versions
- Do not run the application directly from an archive
- Keep all included EXE, DLL and BIN components together
- Always launch the program through START-xDecoder.exe
- Do not start Decoder.exe directly
If an antivirus product blocks or quarantines a component, do not disable the entire security system. Post the exact detection name and affected filename in this thread first.
File Safety
Always preserve the untouched original ECU read. Work only with a separate copy and save every processed result under a new filename.
A removed DTC does not repair the electrical, mechanical or software-related cause of the fault. Verify the modified file and its checksums before programming it into a control unit.

Here's to reaching the final instruction with every earlier result exactly as expected.

Version 14.0 is the current release—there's no newer build available. The "out of date" prompt is likely a false positive from the auto-check routine, especially if the software is checking against a server that's unreachable or misconfigured.
Try these steps:
- Fully close xDecoder and any related processes
- Clear the program's cache folder (typically in AppData/Local/xDecoder or similar)
- Restart xDecoder without running the auto-update check—disable it in settings if available
- Check your firewall or proxy settings if the update check is blocked
If the alert persists after a clean reinstall, post back with the exact error message text and any details from the logs folder. If it's a genuine bug in the version-check routine, /members/bin.1/]Bin should be notified directly for a patch.

Document exact formulas so later software reproduces the research without guesswork.
Post #1,271
Can you say why that happens? or do you only activate it for one month?

Use the discovery first where its advantages are clear and its limits easy to observe.

I'm obviously doing something wrong...
I downloaded that zip file from MHH Auto, extracted it, and ran the .exe file; it generated a Hardware ID which I sent to you. You sent back a .reg file, which I ran, and it was accepted successfully.
When I run the .exe file again, it says I need to perform an update—which, of course, I haven't done. When I drag the .bin file to the designated spot, nothing happens; when I click "Open," my computer just shuts down.
I still only have the .exe file; I can't find the installation folder anywhere to click "START"....
Please help!
Thanks in advance!

A discovery proves its value when it improves a real task under ordinary conditions.

Reliable torque reporting supports both drivability and the safeguards surrounding it.
