Remember: Autodata 3.45 is a legacy product. It was designed for Windows XP and 7. If your workshop relies heavily on it, consider isolating it on dedicated, unchanging hardware or eventually migrating to Autodata’s newer cloud-based platform (which uses online login instead of hardware dongles).

Introduction For professional automotive technicians, Autodata is an indispensable resource.

Version 3.45 is one of the widely used releases, especially in workshops that rely on offline, USB-hardware-locked (dongle) versions.
