Problem:
Installed JLR SDD V166 software for VXDIAG VCX SE JLR. But failed to start software. Failed to download data and displayed error “The software status file is out of date”. Any solution?
Solution:
1).Change computer date/time.
User feedback:
So the solution that worked is to set the date and to 2020 after that there was no pop up for “The software status file is out of date”. Modules software files download as usual worked on 2 cars today so far it is working with setting the data and time to few years back.
Open SDD to “continue” then change the year to 2020 and continue using normally.
2). If not working, download and use the latest version SDD.
Current version goes to V167 (till June 2025).
Run SDD and use as normal. – you may have to go to Settings > Network > and enable network connection to get online downloads working.Network icon may be red, but downloads should still be working.
