Congratulations, you've just purchased a old Durametric system clone (Version 5 which as long since been replaced with the current Version 6.3.2.5, which is much more capable) out of China, and in doing so have helped undermine the only aftermarket company working to make complete Porsche diagnostics possible in the DIY market without spending $17,000 to lease a real PIWIS. The Asian Durametric clone cables are not compatible with the latest Durametric software, so you cannot update, and the clones are known for being buggy and sometimes can actually damage the car's DME.

And just as a reference point, you could have purchase a real Durametric system for less than $300, and had full unlimited access to all future updates for free,
