Attention ACom Diagnostic Users!

We want to share some news about the Bendix ACom Diagnostics Software you currently use. In early 2020 Bendix will be transitioning to a new, subscription-based ACom platform called Bendix^® ACom^® PRO^™. This package will be available to the market in January 2020.

Support for earlier generations of the valuable ACom tool – including versions 6.17 and 6.18, versions you may be using today – will eventually be discontinued in 2020 after a published transition period.  Please contact Bendix for more details.

Client Update release 2.4.5 and Tech Tool release (2.7.30 and onward) cannot be installed at the same time.

If you have Client Update release 2.4.5 and a Tech Tool release available simultaneously in Client Update, make sure to only download and install one at a time. If they are installed at the same time, the installation of updates will not finish.

Support for Tech Tool 2.5 has ended. We encourage all end users running version 2.5 to update to the latest version. A new installation using 2.7 Tech Tool DVD or 2.7 USB Drive is needed to upgrade to the latest version. Please contact the Help Desk at 1-877-978-6586 with any questions.
