CDR2 Software

Post by Lasaman »

Nice to see Bosch releasing the CDR2 software. Though I noted in their Minimal System Requirements:

"PC Hardware...RAM: 128 GB or more"

Really?! 128 GB of RAM?!

The email states "Please do not reply to this email, all replies will be deleted." Hopefully someone in the CDR team is reading this post and can elaborate a little bit more.

The product information sheet linked from the Crash Data Group website (see attached PDF) indicates the minimum RAM required is 8GB. I do note this sheet is v2, so there may have been an error in v1.

Guys have you been able to activate CDR2 with the same key as normal CDR?

I tried it with 3 different PCs and there was always a fault message "Licence activation failed, Please update the correct activation file, The activation file has been tampered with."
many years experience in reading EDR data with Bosch CDR in europe, europe is quite difficult regarding EDR data, but time is changing in europe so let get in contact and share experience

What that means is the activation certificate for version 23.2 has been altered. It appears to be a text file but it is protected. If someone tried to, for example, extend the activation date or made so much as a single bit change in the activation CTF file, it's no longer a valid CTF file and you'll see that message.

You have to use the right CTF file for the version you have installed and there is, if you've read the EULA, a limit to the number of PCs it can be used on (one may expect that limit to be more strictly enforced as we move forward). But, here, that error says you've got a corrupted CTF file.
