Thank you! I consider that an answer.

So, if I dare ask another question, which is really what I probably should have asked before, in light of your response. Are these two things essentially the same ... even if one might be better than the other? One more updated, or more specific in its details.

I ask, because I've already purchased the software.

EDIT: Or is even THAT unknown at this point? If so, maybe I should spring for the $8 and find out.

You rented the software, maybe if you wait a tech that uses the shop set up can tell you the difference...

there is some free diy stuff on there now: smart USA Owners Portal - Do It Yourself

and i found this on another page
"Get Access
Access to the smartUSA.com owner portal is currently limited to pre-selected Beta testers. Check back soon to register your own account and access information specific to Your fortwo." https://owners.smartusa.com/Login.as...fMY_smart.aspx which leads me to believe that there will be free access for owners or at least other access that is not charged out at shop rates.

and if you need something from wis just ask me... i post stuff on my download page that i have pulled from wis and my epc all the time so just ask!! (please dont ask for the whole thing, but one section or job at a time is just fine)

Or, more likely, perhaps no one knows yet, so rather than eleventy-seven "I don't know" posts, everyone's just electing not to answer.
