Default DURAMETRIC question. No VINS logged?

Bought one last winter used with 3 available Vins. The enthusiast version. I've used it on my car several times but there are still zero VINs recorded. Am I missing something?

Did they accidentally send you a pro version? Try coding something...

Same here! Bought the enthusiast version in the spring of 2017. Used it on 2 cars, no VINs recorded.

Mine says enthusiast version on the plug back side. I guess I can try code something.

All I can assume is that they are stored somewhere. I'll call Durametric and ask.

Might be a "decision tree" path on boot up. With my Foxwell 520Pro I can boot up and find the VIN/car, or boot up and enter the VIN manually then save, or not save. Also once the tool has connected there is a reverse path to save the VIN/car. Once I learned this I saved (hard coded into the tool) only the TT. I believe my software allows for five saved vehicles, but...I'll keep my options open. Just tossing this out there in the event Durametric logic is similarly written.
