Does it matter if I use E-Sys 3.18.4 v47.5 versus E-Sys 3.22.5? Do I need PSdZdata 49.1 (which I understand likely doesn't work with 3.18.4).

I realize E-Sys 3.22.5 will (likely?) require the purchase of a token (perhaps the former does, too? I'm still downloading and am unclear on that because I haven't gone through the setup process). Obviously if paying for the token is part of this process then... so be it. But I just saw no reference to that anywhere in this long thread, so... again, maybe I'm asking a question publicly that shouldn't be asked. Mea culpa? Help?

[Edit: I did just have the vehicle in for service yesterday due where they did a CAS software update for recall B61 38 12 if that matters]
I bought the cable and the software (on a thumb drive) from April1. It worked right out of the box on my 2013 F25 and I did not have to obtain anything else other than follow exactly the excellent directions April1 provided and I was able to code everything I wanted to.

I didn't want to deal with different versions of anything so it was well worth getting it all from the same place to me. It says on the About screen it is E-Sys Version 3.18.4.
