DIY - How to load up NCSEXPERT

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Sure.

Let me know if you can upload it now.

As far as I know, NCSExpert is not free software. FYI.
I do not see any place to buy it. It might not even be available to the general public, other than through file sharing places...


Just don't want y'all to get in trouble with the law...

Interesting. Did not know that.

It's useless on its own. It's just legacy software that BMW no longer uses and doesn't care about 3rd parties getting a hold of it.

Now if this were a how to build a ISIS, ISTA/P thread with downloads that would be a different story.

Do you think that would be enough to not get in trouble? Proprietary would be the key word, I would guess...
I always thought companies cared a lot about proprietary software regardless of whether it's used or not. ???

If there is a copyright on the software (and there is; we're giving away intellectual property that BMW has a right to sell), then there is a copyright violation. Whether BMW does anything about it is another question. My guess is that it never would. However, I have a longstanding rule on the forum: no copyright violations.

VA, do me a favor: host the zip files and other copyrighted material elsewhere. You can leave this thread up and just point to a site that hosts the software. I didn't know this was BMW's software. I was under the mistaken impression that it was something else that did not run afoul the US copyright laws.

Thanks, guys.

Good write up, I'm still trying to get the time to set ncs and everything.

I'm just assuming; don't just go by what I'm saying ... lol
I haven't seen NCS Expert used in any other application than BMW's, which is why I drew that conclusion.

VA, any insight on this?
