VCDS information

Where do you buy VCDS and can you run it on just any laptop or not? I'm not in the know with computer things, so any help would be great

Cheers  :happy2:

Latest version of vcds works with Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7, and 8 (both 32-bit and 64-bit).   
Windows 95, 98, ME, and NT4 are no longer supported

Without traction power is nothing!

I've had a look on that gendan website! So the hex-USB+can interface package is the one that will read all cars from 1995 and the Micro-CAN USB interface package is all cars from 2003? Am I right? Sorry if these questions seems daft  :laugh:
