So, I did a read on my truck a few weeks ago using an older version of HPT, I haven't updated my software in a while. When I hooked up to the truck originally it told me I need to start with a new file and gave me a virtual read, nothing new with that. However, I was NOT connected to the internet nor did it ask for it and it still gave me a VR from seemingly out of thin air. All seems fine, so whatever. Sense then I have updated my HPT software to the latest version and prompts me to connect to the internet, I have no problem doing that as its required but my question is : Why did I not need to be connected to the internet when using an older version and still got a virtual read? I did another read with the new version of HPT while connected to the internet and it gave me what seems like the same file. Why did the older version not need to be connected and the new version does I guess is my question?
Thanks
