The software is by-far more advanced than the Durametric 'pro' version as it literally does everything a piwis does (keys prog, locking systems, adjust this and that, has it ALL... can't list them all here).

Where I'm trying to get at with this is, they are selling it to guys like myself for $60 a license. Instead of the ridiculous amount of money the other one is selling theirs to their Porsche crowd in the USA/CA/EU.

Really makes you wonder; who is stealing who?!

Believe me they could translate everything in English, French, Itralian, and shutdown your mates at Durametric in a flash but hey man.... they don't. Any idea why?
I need me one of these $60 licenses...
