update scanner?

can you update the vcm scanner without effecting the editor? I don't wanna mess with updating that side but I have a truck I can't see timing retard data on but I can with a cheap dongle and phone app. since I can't find anyway to add a known pid manually, the app gives me that, as it's just a common gm pid. I was wondering if updating scanner might help. I'm on 4.6.3 currently and they show a 5.0.4 as available update.


I let it update the editor side once and it was a nightmare, I couldn't even log in right, had to use a windows restore point to get everything working again. trying to avoid all that again.

Unfortunately you cannot.

that's a eh. thanks for the reply

Yes you can, they just don't want you to. Sorry to spill the beans Bill but it was a required option when you guys did that emissions bs
I have three versions of HP on my laptop and can use any of them at any time.
