v2.0.3 · Latest

Softechpro 2.0.3 — Embedded Panel & Auto-Update (September 2026)

✨ New

  • Panel runs inside the app — the tuning panel now opens in a secure embedded window (no external browser), so your session and cookies stay isolated inside Softechpro.
  • Automatic updates — the app checks and installs new versions on its own, on Windows and macOS.

🔒 Security

  • Hardened HWID activation — stronger per-PC binding.

🔄 Fixes

  • Installer & branding fixes — cleaner setup, correct window title and logo.
v2.0.1 · New Platform

Softechpro 2.0.2 — New Cloud Tuning Platform (July 2026)

✨ New

  • Everything moves to the web panel — the full tuning workflow (DTC, EGR, DPF, AdBlue, Stage and more) now runs in the Softechpro panel at /modules.
  • New desktop app — a lightweight, secure launcher that opens the panel and lives in your system tray with a live server-status indicator.
  • Dealer / B2B API — apply tuning programmatically over REST. Docs at /developers.
  • Redesigned, more advanced interface.

🔒 Security & licensing

  • BIOS-locked activation — each licence binds to one PC (BIOS HWID). Moving to a new computer is a quick support request.
  • Signed launcher — the app cryptographically signs every session so only the genuine Softechpro app can open the panel.
  • Active-plan access — the tuning panel requires an active subscription or credits.

🔄 Migration

  • Legacy desktop app retired — existing users are offered the new app automatically; your account and licence carry over — just sign in.
