To renew a license, log into your ecommerce account, navigate to the subscription, click on the Renew Subscription button to add the renewal product to your Shopping Cart then follow the Checkout process. Click here for license renewal instructions.

Important: For the renewal to take effect ServiceRanger must be version 4.2.1187 or greater. If unsure of your version click here to download the latest version. If the license has already expired ServiceRanger 4 will display the activation screen on startup. The current license number will be automatically populated in the activation window.

The renewal will be applied the next time the ServiceRanger 4 update manager connects to the Eaton server. The license expiration date, found in the ServiceRanger 4 Settings>License screen, may take 24 hours to update.
19. How can I renew multiple license numbers at the same time?
You can renew all license numbers that were originally purchased together by logging into your ecommerce account and selecting: My Account > My Organization > Subscriptions. This will show your license subscriptions by the original order number. At the top right of the order will be a renew subscription button that will cause the renewal product to be added to your Shopping Cart for all the numbers that can be renewed for that original order (If the button is not visible, it means there are no license numbers in that order due for renewal). Once added to your Shopping Cart follow the Checkout process.
20. Can I renew a license number after it has expired?
Each license number has an automatic 30 day renewal grace period during which it can be renewed. If the license is not renewed during this time it cannot be renewed and a new license must be purchased.

21. What is the price of a license number renewal?
The license number renewal price is only shown once the renewal product is added to your Shopping Cart. The price cannot be shown in the catalog because it is only determined once you select which license number you want to renew.

26. I get a “Disconnected from Server” error message when I attempt to activate the ServiceRanger
Verify the computer is connected to the internet and there are no folder permissions, security settings, proxy or firewall settings that could be preventing the ServiceRanger 4 software or the ServiceRanger 4 update manager from accessing the Eaton server; any router firewalls should also be checked.
27. I get an “Invalid serial number” error message when I attempt to activate the software.
The following checks should be performed:
  • Check that you entered the license serial number correctly. Trying to copy and paste the serial number could result in a leading or trailing blank space which must be removed.
  • Check that your computer's system clock is set to the correct date and time
  • Log into your ecommerce account and check to see if the license has already been activated on another computer.
  • Check that you are trying to activate ServiceRanger version 4.2.1187 or greater

    • A computer crash
    • New software being loaded
    • A change or upgrade to the computer’s hardware such as a replaced hard drive
    • A change or update to the computer’s Operating System
    In all these cases it is recommended that ServiceRanger be uninstalled, then reinstalled and another attempt be made to activate the software.

The initial ServiceRanger 4 installation includes all the product service literature (approximately 500MB). Due to Eaton server limitations the install is completed in phases with the images and videos loading last due to their size. Given enough time, with the computer connected to the internet, all images and videos will download in the background. To expedite the download it is recommended that the computer be left on and connected to an internet connection overnight (ServiceRanger 4 should be shut down during this time).

  • Check that the vehicle link adapter is properly connected and is getting power from the vehicle’s data link connector
  • If you are using an vehicle link adapter wirelessly switch to a wired connection
  • Verify the USB communications port on the computer is functioning properly
