19.4 will be the solus ultras last update

Maybe even offer a Android Friendly Snap On Legacy Software App covering all the OBD1 and earlier OBD2 with a micro USB adapter cable we can install on our smart phones or even on older Rooted Hacked Chinaman Tools.

$300 for 9.2 for Black Cartridge MT2500 including Euro
$500 Solus Pro including Euro
$650 Modis including Euro
$700 Verus
Of course the price of the Legacy software updates prices would need to go down to about the Rock Bottom $300 price near the end of a decade and Snappy would still be getting revenue from Legacy updates , from DIY back yard mechanics , retired guys working on old Sh@t, Guys still wanting to access OBD1 on something a little newer than a Brick with a 9V battery and a tiny black and white display , and supplementing older guys with Chinaman tools that occasionally won't work with an older OBD2 vehicle, or ocasionally need to scope something with a Modis or Verus.

But this is common sense - which appears to be becoming illegal everywhere and punishable by death by slow torture

I agree they might not of wanted to have this info out there and they might delete it. hence why i posted this so there is a some documentation.

Looks like "Another one bites the dust" should be Snap on's new theme song when it comes to scanners & diagnostic equipment. The tool truck guy should be required to play it on the truck every time someone buys a diagnostic tool

the word is that the solus ultra sw will now be extended to 20.4.
it was originally 19.4, as stated earlier, but extended another year.

When is 19.4 going to be released? This morning my Zeus started throwing "Not Authorized" Pop Up window and would close the app. Had to call Snap-On, they fixed it by logging into my Zeus. They said it was an update bug. Either way, I'm still on 19.2 So not sure what update they were saying caused this. My S.O. Representative said that 19.4 is out. But my Zeus doesn't see it yet. :/

My dealer has it on the truck. If your on subscription it will take a few days for you to get it if I remember right.

[ToltecasChavez]

Ah, did not know that. Thanks for the clarification.

Well 20.2 is currently out for the Solus Ultra.

Glad to hear 20.4 is the new cut-off. I'll probably buy it then. In case this pandemic economy changes plans, plz keep the thread going if anybody hears if the deadline gets pushed out further.

Thx

Actually, 21.4 will be the final install for the solus ultra. I heard this is the final install because snap on is obligated to support their tools for 10 years. I dont know what the solus ultra originally came with. but 11.4 sounds about right.

My franchisee is still saying 20.4 is the end of the line for the Ultra as of a week or so ago.
