A little something for our members. To make life a little easier for all I would like to help our members with regard to the WIS/EPC. This can easiely be downloaded from mhhauto.com along with the 'keygen', you will need to be a member first. Once you have downloaded it, decide wheather you will run it on a standalone system discounted from your network/internet or run it in a Virtual machine(VM).

Please key for EPCnet,WISnet 5.2012 (LAN-ID): 000EA6677143 thx. EPC WIS&ASRA DAS Key Generator. WIS and EPC are very important to the workshop. It is of course illegal.

If you will be running it in a VM you will need to setup your VM first The setting I would recomend are 3-4 gig of ram and an 80gig hdd running windows xp. Once the system is setup and you have the OS installed and running well continue to the next step. This works the same for Windows XP/Vistra and 7.

Now the best setup I have found is to use the earlier version of the EWAnet core and not update the core when installing new databases(Nicer and easier interface). IMPORTANT the system will need at least 1 lan adpater(NOT connected) in order for WIS/EPC to work. Before you install the EWAnet(this is the core of WIS/EPC) you will need to run the file 'Standalone_mediasens.reg' file found in x: ewa readme support directory, then reboot. Now run 'x: ewa setup.exe' follow the instructions to install through to the finish.

The admin tool will start and you are ready to add a StarKey. For this you will need the keygen from mhhauto. Just run the keygen and copy your LanID from the StarKey tab of the admin tool to the keygen, select how many users you will need (at least 2) and how long you want the key for, press the generate button and you will have the key you need, just copy them into the admin tool and hit save. Almost done now you need to add the databases for this you will need to select the Preferences menu-Extended functionality in the admin tool.

Ralink Wireless Utility Windows 8. THis will add the 'Extended' tab, select it. Now hit the EPC or WIS database update button and again follow the instructions. Once repeat for the other database. If you have reached here with everything going smoothly then return to the first tab of the admion tool and check for the green indications of the server and databases you have installed, if you installed both you will have 4 greeen lights if all is well. Open your internet browser and in the Favorites menu you will find the folder 'EWAnet' go there and click on 'EWA net' this will bring you to the login screen. First login will be User-admin, Password-password. You will need to change the password to proceed.

Once in start at the groups menu and create a new group. Then the user menu and create new user/s. Logout and then login as a user.

From the 'Download' menu install the Java etc as needed. You should now have a working WIS/EPC setup. I use the first disc from the EPC 09_13 to install the core, then the WIS 07_14 and the EPC 09-14 for the databases. Even with this we will still need to help each other, as will we still need to learn have to navigate it and some parts/info are not listed in it. Thanks Dean for providing this instructional. I didn't know that a download was available otherwise I would have gone that way 2 1/2 years ago.

I went a different route and just purchased a set of DVD's from Ebay. I think that I paid $30 at the time. The seller I used is no longer selling but takes you to ones who are.

My setup takes approximately 35GB of hard drive space and a cursory read of one of the Ebay sellers description suggests 65GB so keep that in mind. The WIS/ASRA/EPC is invaluable to the DIYer or just someone who wants to be informed of what a repair procedure really entails.

I could not afford to own a Mercedes without it especially an older one at that. The WIS is the work shop instructions, the ASRA section is the factory book time for labor to do each procedure and of course the EPC electronic parts catalog, (we in the US should already have ) also a part of the program set.

Navigating through it all does take some time and effort once you get it loaded. Keyboard short cuts are used instead of mouse clicks in some cases, I stumbled for a while until I figured that out. My set only works with the Internet Explorer browser so be sure you work that out before starting the setup. (I use FireFox 100% normally.) Finally, the last part of your post is very helpful.. If you have reached here with everything going smoothly then return to the first tab of the admion tool and check for the green indications of the server and databases you have installed, if you installed both you will have 4 greeen lights if all is well. Open your internet browser and in the Favorites menu you will find the folder 'EWAnet' go there and click on 'EWA net' this will bring you to the login screen.
