Durametric lists "Brake bleeding activations" as one of its "special features" for the 996, and it also works on 964 C4, 986, 987, and 997.
The "Pro" version of Durametric has the "Coding" functionality, allowing you to modify some options (such as whether the side markers on some vehicles blink when the turn signal is on) - but otherwise, the "Enthusiast" version and the Pro version are very similar in function. Operating systems like ABS, SAI all work, and you can also clear airbag lights if you forget to disconnect the battery before you unplug a seat or door bag.

When I first picked up my Motive I was using it completely wrong. Their instructions are wrong.
What you've posted here is correct.
To make sure anyone that comes across this knows:
Wrong way (Motive Instructions) - Add two bottles of your desired fluid and pressurize the system. You'll never get all of the fluid out of the Motive into the system which is wasteful.
Correct way (above) - Never ever add any fluid to the Motive. Top off the brake fluid in the reservoir. Check the Motive lines before every use (brake fluid is nasty stuff). Connect the Motive to the reservoir and use it to pressurize the system. 10-15psi is more than enough. Bleed/Flush away and watch the reservoir.
