Send us a self-test file of your LabTool-848XP and place a two year Vista/Win7 S/W update service order to us. We will tell you how to download your Vista/Win7 S/W.
     
 
Q3.
What will happen after my Vista/Win7 S/W update service expired?

You need to order a new two year S/W update service again if you want continuously to get the Vista/Win7 S/W update service. If you do not order the new Vista/Win7 S/W update service, even you can download the latest S/W from our web, you can not execute the updated Vista/Win7 S/W in your machine and you need to go back to old version Vista/Win7 driver. Thus you need to keep your last LabTool-848XP Vista/Win7 driver carefully. If you lost this old driver, your solution is to order a new update service. Or you need to change your OS to Win 2000 or Win XP.
