If you tried genuine version of software and it was connected to the net it is most likely bricked now as genuine soft checks for clones and it it finds cloned cable it owerwrites the software in the cable chip rendering it useless. They can be recovered with variable degree of difficulty depending on version but if you are into clones it's probably easier just to buy another clone considering how cheap they are on Aliexpress

I have a spare genuine VCDS cable that I'll get round to putting up for sale at some point.
I bought a new one when I took over custody of mark's old car, then found his old one hidden behind the CD player in the boot, I just need to try to work out if his is unlimited or limited as mine is limited to a certain number of cars

Remember even the limited ones can do scans on any car. IIRC it's only certain functions that require you to "lock in" a VIN and it warns you first.

Indeed, think it’s if you make use of the ‘adaptation’ option to make soft coding changes that it counts as a used VIN. Mine’s an older unlimited one, which is fine until you get to about 2016/17 stuff where it can’t read it
