WHY MOVE TO KESS3 TODAY
Moving to KESS3 means making a concrete step forward in three areas that matter every day in your workshop:
More coverage and more working opportunities
Over the last four years, KESS3 has received a very high number of new protocols and coverage updates. It is the tool we continue to invest in and develop.
Greater stability, fewer issues
KESS3 is more mature and more stable than the previous generation. This reduces critical cases and saves you time.
A product designed for the future
KESS3 is the platform on which development is focused. If you are working with KESSv2 or KTAG, today the most logical choice is to move to KESS3.
A simple figure to give an order of magnitude: in 2022, critical cases were around 8%. Today we are below 1.5%. KESSv2 and KTAG are around 7%. In practical terms: greater continuity in your work and fewer interruptions.
The advantage is not on the hardware.
It is on the configuration value.
With the trade-in, there is no discount on the hardware: KESS3 costs €700 and remains €700.
The real advantage is on:
Package activations at trade-in price
12 months of subscription included with the new KESS3
After the 12 months included, you are free to renew or not.
EXAMPLES OF FINANCIAL ADVANTAGE
A clear, real-time procedure.
- You do not need to ship your old tool.
- No proof of purchase required: it is valid even if you bought it second-hand.
- It does not need to be working: it must be original and not previously traded in (clones excluded).
- Enter the serial number of your KESSv2 or KTAG and the system immediately applies the discounted price.
The tool you choose for the trade-in remains usable for a further 90 days. After 90 days, it is automatically deactivated.
If you own both KESSv2 and KTAG, you can trade in twice: one tool → one KESS3, and the other tool → a second KESS3 (even with different configurations).
You do not start from scratch.
Cables, boards and accessories from the previous generation are compatible with KESS3.
HOW TO TRADE IN
If you purchase through a dealer, the trade-in is handled by your dealer. This is the correct path to finalise the upgrade.
