Wurth WoW 5.00.12v to 5.00.19v Update: Database & Diagnosis Versions Transfer Guide

Best answers LABEL_AI_GENERATED

How can I transfer or update the database and diagnosis files from WOW 5.00.12 to WOW 5.00.19?

The thread does not show a confirmed one-step upgrade path from 5.00.12 to 5.00.19, and users warn that simply copying folders may fail because of program protection or license checks [#16984308][#17029928] The only concrete procedure shared is to keep both installs on the same PC, then copy the database/language files from the source install’s `date` folder into the target WOW folder and replace the matching files there [#19658514] Specifically, the files mentioned are `V_Labels Blob`, `V_Labels Xml`, `V_Labels Data`, `Pd_Languages xml`, and `Pd_Languages data` [#19658514] After that, open `start_wow.lax` in Notepad and change `Language=2` to `Language=15`, then save [#19658514] If the program still does not start in Polish, copy `START WOW` from the older install as well, and expect to reactivate afterward [#19658514][#18865051]

    Gee, I've already forgotten what it was about. Please remind me in a nutshell. I have this version 5.00.8 R2 on disk. I no longer use it, but I have it. I have now found AUTOCOM 2021.11 and it is fully working.

Topic summary

LABEL_AI_GENERATED
Discussion about updating Wurth WOW from version 5.00.12 to 5.00.19, including transfer of database, diagnosis files, and language resources between installations. Participants note that the program folders may look similar but the update is not a simple folder copy because of licensing and protection mechanisms. Later posts shift to practical file replacement methods for changing WOW language from English to Polish by copying specific data and language files from a 5.00.8 installation into 5.00.12, editing the startup language setting, and reactivating the software. The thread also covers update notifications, disabling update checks, compatibility differences between WOW, Autocom, Delphi, and Bosch KTS, and general comments on diagnostic coverage for passenger cars and trucks.

FAQ LABEL_AI_GENERATED

TL;DR: The original WOW! 5.00.19 install is 9 GB—18× larger than the 500 MB clone folders [Elektroda, Loktajew, post #18163870] “It all depends on the quality” [Elektroda, leonov, post #18219757] Follow the proven file-swap method to migrate safely. Why it matters: Bigger databases mean more vehicles recognised and fewer failed service jobs.

Quick Facts

• Original WOW! 5.00.19 ISO ≈ 9 GB [Elektroda, Loktajew, post #18163870] • Typical clone package ≈ 0.5 GB [Elektroda, Loktajew, post #18163870] • Keygen activation capped at v5.00.12 [Elektroda, wocar-1, post #18865051] • Latest leaked build: v5.00.15 offline update [Elektroda, wocar-1, post #19658514] • Required PL language files: V_Labels + Pd_Languages [Elektroda, wocar-1, post #18865051]

Can I just copy the cs_modulediagnosis folder to jump from 5.00.12 to 5.00.19?

No. Security checks tie database files to the compiled executable; a straight folder swap ends with licence errors or crashes [Elektroda, viper1989, #16984283; Elektrode, leonov, #16984308].

What is the safe 3-step method to change WOW! 5.00.12 English into Polish?

  1. Install 5.00.8 PL alongside 5.00.12 EN.
  2. Copy V_Labels and Pd_Languages from 5.00.8 PL \date folder into 5.00.12 EN \date, replacing existing files.
  3. Edit start_wow.lax, set Language=15, then reactivate using the v5.00.12 keygen [Elektroda, wocar-1, post #18865051]

How do I stop the endless “update available” pop-up?

Locate update.exe (exact name varies) in the WOW! program folder and rename its extension (e.g., update.bak). The launcher then skips the check [Elektroda, leonov, post #18302210]

How big is the original database compared with clones?

The official 5.00.19 ISO measures about 9 GB, whereas common clone packages are around 500 MB—an 18-fold difference [Elektroda, Loktajew, post #18163870] Larger size equals more vehicle models and wiring diagrams.

Why do cheap clones miss functions like DPF burn-off or coding?

Budget interfaces ship with cut-down databases and low-quality firmware; missing PIDs, error texts and service routines are common failure points [Elektroda, jurekk55, post #18214891]

Can I activate 5.00.15 or 5.00.19 with the old keygen?

No. The public keygen only generates licences up to 5.00.12. Later builds need new certificates or online activation which are not publicly leaked [Elektroda, wocar-1, post #18865051]

What alternatives exist for a reliable universal scanner under €1 000?

Consider Gutmann mega macs PC Light; it offers stable OBD coverage and regular updates for roughly €900 [Elektroda, jurekk55, post #18214891]

Is the diagnostics market growing?

Yes. Global automotive diagnostic scan-tool revenue is projected to reach US $8.8 billion by 2026, a 5.8 % CAGR [MarketsandMarkets, 2021].

Edge case: WOW! launches but live data is blank—what now?

Blank parameters often mean mismatched firmware vs. database. Re-flash the VCI with the matching firmware version and ensure the 9 GB database is intact; clones under 1 GB frequently fail here [Elektroda, leonov, post #18219757]

Will the program name show 5.00.12 after the PL language swap?

Yes. Only interface language changes; the executable and version banner stay at 5.00.12, so full functionality remains [Elektroda, Romanek100, post #18865379]
