Mine came through last week in about 24 hours. It's one file that you put into the VCDS application directory.
If you completed the transaction today then it won't even be looked at until tomorrow morning US time (Philaldelphia is 5 hours behind the UK)

And, if you have not received anything from Ross-Tech within 2 business days, drop us a note at [email protected]. We'll look into and try to sort the matter.
Ive got my vagcom licence email,i followed how to save it into the vagcom file, but after everytime i went to load up vagcom it kept saying i need a 32 bit or 64 bit computer to support it. Ive checked my laptop properties and its a 64bit,then the computer froze, so i uninstalled vagcom and ive downloaded it again, does this mean the new download serial number will be different to what i gave to rosstech?, or is it just going to be the same? I thought i would just get a login number and thats it,
Are you running VCDS-Lite 1.1? Because that is the current version of VCDS-Lite and it is compatible with 64 bit Win 7 machines.
The product is no longer called VAG-COM as VW forced us to change the name. We change it to VCDS (which stands for VAG-COM Diagnostic System). If you are trying to run VAG-COM 409, it will not work with Win 7 or a 64 bit machine. It was released in 2004, designed for XP and 32 bit machines. Further, the license we have sent will not work with 409 - only VCDS-Lite.
Re-installing on the same machine should generate the same serial information - but, if there is a virus or something running, it may not. Also, eliminate as many programs as possible, especially anit-virus programs, as other programs may be interfering with VCDS-Lite (not a normal occurrence but we have some reports that some apps will mess with VCDS-Lite).
Go to the About screen and look at the serial number that VCDS-Lite generated. Compare it to the one you sent to buy your license. If they are the same, then the license we have sent should be fine. If they are not the same, you are going to have to contact our tech support for further help.

Ummm... where do the instructions tell you to "save the link"? The instructions tell you to save the attached .vca file to the folder specified.
That would require you to right click on the attached file in the email, select "save as" from the drop down menu, find the folder, and save the license .vca file to that folder.
Into which folder did you place the attached file? Did you place it in C:\Ross-Tech\VCDS-Lite? and when you finished copying the file, you see it there?
Last, did you read how to verify the file installation in the instructions? Does the first field of the serial number match the file name?

Now, are the characters in the first field of the serial number in the About screen of VCDS-Lite "31107e06"? (refer only to the characters between the quote marks)

Seems you are doing all things correctly... I need someone in support to look at this thread.. I'm out of ideas. Hang tight.
