| Feature | WinOLS 2.24 | WinOLS 4.x | |---------|-------------|-------------| | Windows 10 Native Support | No (requires workarounds) | Yes (certified) | | USB Dongle Driver | HASP (problematic on Win10) | Sentinel (stable) | | ECU Coverage | Up to ~2014 models | 2024 ECUs (Bosch MG1, Siemens) | | Checksum Handling | Manual plugin | Automatic cloud-based | | Memory Usage | ~200 MB | ~800 MB | | Price (New License) | Discontinued | €1500+ |
