LAUNCH X431 Security Gateway (SGW) software purchase policy has been updated in 2025: European and American users can purchase the SGW software as part of a bundle; non-European and non-American users can purchase the SGW software separately. This article uses the FCA SGW as an example to explain how to purchase, register, and activate the FCA SGW software.
NOTE: Starting in 2025, only X431 users in non-European/non-American regions (US/Canada/Mexico) can purchase the FCA/ Renault/ VAG Security Gateway (SGW) license separately. European and American users can only obtain the SGW license via a software package. Users interested in obtaining Renault and VAG SGW licenses can also refer to the FCA SGW purchase and activation instructions in this article.
