If you do not purchase the European SGW Function License, you can only perform the DTC reading, DTC clearing and some data stream functions.
For example, one customer gave feedback that he failed to do special functions on a 2021 Mercedes C class W206 300d DoIP model by his Launch X431 PAD VII, and got the error message “Encryption gateway authentication failed and test functions are limited” & “The function is not activated. Incorrect code: 1000699.”
The reason is that Mercedes-Benz has installed a security gateway module in many new models to protect their vehicle systems from unauthorized access, meaning that unrestricted communication between the diagnostic equipment and the vehicle is only possible with the correct access.
Therefore, you need to buy the Launch EU SGW License to obtain this access.
