2.3. The About screen

You will find the About dialog under the Help in the Menu bar.  If you do not have a GS-911 connected, you will see the following:

Although this already shows you the version number of your GS-911 software and the contact details of the reseller you purchased the interface from, there is a lot more information, if you have your GS-911 interface connected... if you had it connected, or connect it now and then press the [Interface information] button, you should see one of the following About dialogs (depending on whether you have an Enthusiast of Professional version). For more information, see the FAQ: How do the Professional and Enthusiast versions differ?

The one on the left shows the About dialog you will see if you have a Professional version, while the one on the right is the one you will see if you have an Enthusiast version.  Both show you:

• Your GS-911 software version : 904.1 in this case
• Your GS-911 Interface information : your interface's serial number (GS40000202-709E and GS60000101-68DA for our examples respectively), whether his interface supports a Bluetooth connection (Yes for both our examples), as well as the Firmware version of your interface (0.13.A for the one and 0.14.C for the other)
• Your Reseller contact information : the contact details of the reseller through which your GS-911 was purchased (this is where you will find First tier support)

In addition, the Enthusiast About dialog has 2 more imported details.

• The [Upgrade to Professional version] button : this is how you can upgrade your Enthusiast interface to a Professional one at ANY time after you have purchased it! simply click the button, and it will take you to the payment gateway that will facilitate the payment of the upgrade fee. Thereafter simply follow the clear instructions... read more on the upgrade information page.
  
• The VIN list :  very importantly, it shows the VIN numbers that have been associated with this interface, and thus the amount of free slots (more VIN numbers that can be added - zero in the example above, as all 10 VIN slots are populated). This is the VIN limit, that the Enthusiast versions are subject to. The VIN limit ONLY comes into play when using service functions - thus service functionality on Enthusiast versions is limited to 10 motorcycles.  This has NO impact on the so-called "Emergency Functionality" which is the reading of ECU information, Reading and Clearing of ALL fault codes as well as real-time values of Engine Control units. Read more on the VIN limit.
