Please contact us for access to FOTA lite (V3).

NB: FOTA lite is free of charge

Firstly, install FOTA lite (V3)
When you start FOTA for the first time, you will see a window (like this one below) with two spaces as shown in the screenshot. One is the hardware key that you need to give us so that we can provide you with a license, and below is a space where you would enter the license key that we would give you.

FOTA windows (first launch)

If you can connect to FOTA without a license key, it means your application is already licensed.

NB: You can have a second installation of FOTA, you just need to provide a hardware key on the second computer.

If when FOTA is running you have a problem, please check that your connection PORT is available. This can be done at the following address: https://ping.eu/port-chk/. You'll get a window like this:

Enter the IP address provided by the FOTA and the PORT (to know the PORT your FOTA uses, press the Windows + R keys on your keyboard, then enter "cmd" and validate in the window that will appear, enter resmon.exe and press the Enter key. The window that will appear will allow you to know which PORT is using an application on your computer)
and click on "Go". This operation will display the status of your connection (open or closed). For the operation of your FOTA, it must be open. If it is closed, then the following procedure will allow you to open it:

Login to your router.
Navigate to your router port forwarding section, also frequently called virtual server ( e.g: PORT: 7000 from external IP to client's PC IP. For every router model, forwarding is different and some routers don't even support forwarding) .
Create the port forward entries in your router.
Test that your ports are forwarded correctly.

Note:

You can download LOG file using FOTA Lite from directory D:\Log\C\.

In the FOTA application, register your device by filling all the required data, choose it, and press the "Choose Files" button, then specify what files you would like to download and the location where you would like to save them and start downloading.
