Downloading, Installing, and Activating DVT
DVT requires a license which we can supply. The license is per computer so it recommended that you install it on a laptop for portability. The license is not transferable if the computer it is installed on is formatted or damaged.
The process to download, install, and activate DVT is as follows:
- Download the latest version of DVT [Link provided after purchase]
- Install DVT on your PC (including the IXXAT drivers if they are not already installed)
- Open the software and you will be prompted with two options, select Step 1 to generate an activation key
- Fill out the license request:
- Copy the activation data and send it via email to [Email provided after purchase]. It usually takes around 1-2 business days for a licence request to be activated.
- Once you’ve received your licence file save it in the same folder as you installed DVT (usually C:BorgWarner). Do not change the name of the licence file
- Open DVT and select Step 2. Choose the license.dat file from step 6
- You have now successfully activated DVT
