We have discovered that there was a problem with some CDX Automotive Resource Kit 3.0 and General Service 3.1 products that prevented them from activating correctly. You may see this message when you try to run the software:
"Your system date has been moved back. Please set correct date" or "Your computer date is outisde the valid activation period."
Although this error message is false, it has the effect of stopping your installation from running. This patch program will find and replace one of the files in your installation, with an almost identical file that corrects this problem. Nothing else will be affected.
Please ensure that you only replace all occurrences of this file for the following programs:
- CDX General Service 3.1
- CDX Automotive Resource Kit PC 3.0
- CDX Classroom Toolkit 3.0
