Disable Antivirus and Internet: Temporarily disable your antivirus software and disconnect from the internet to prevent any interference during the installation process.

-
Run the Installer: Locate the installer within the extracted folder and run it.

Wait for Installation: The installation process will take approximately a couple of hours, depending on your computer’s performance.

Software Activation Guide
After successful installation, follow these steps to activate Xentry PassThru 06.2021:
-
Disable Antivirus: Ensure your antivirus software is still disabled.
-
Registry Entry: From the activation files (available here: ссылка на активацию), run the file named “old key loader 64bit.reg“. This adds necessary information to your Windows Registry.
-
File Replacement and Key Generation:
2.1. Copy the “XentryAPI.dll” file from the activation folder to C:WindowsSysWOW64.
2.2. Run “ConfigAssist” from your desktop, then launch “Advanced Keygen” and click “Try“.
The key generator will ask for a password – ignore this and click “OK“. Dismiss any subsequent warning windows by clicking “OK“.
The activation window will appear:
Enter the “Hardware ID” and “APPID” values from ConfigAssist into the corresponding “HWID” and “APPID” fields in the key generator. Enter any digit in the “Lic Num” field. Click “Generate” and paste the generated key into ConfigAssist by clicking the “Manual” button.
Troubleshooting Key Errors: If ConfigAssist displays a key error, double-check that Secure Boot is disabled in your BIOS.
If successful, ConfigAssist should indicate successful key integration:
Note: The server connection status is not important for offline operation.
2.1. Navigate to C:ProgramDataLicDir (this is a hidden folder). Locate the newly generated license file “lic_key_2.dat“. Copy this file to the same folder and rename the copy’s extension to “x4711“. You should now have two files in this folder:
- lic_key_2.dat (generated during activation)
- lic_key_2.x4711 (manually created copy)
For both files, set the attribute to “Read-only” in their properties. This prevents license issues if your computer connects to the internet.

Go to C:Program Files (x86)Mercedes-BenzXentrybin. Open “PassThruServices.xml” with Notepad. Locate the line:
<node name="UseWebSocket" val="1" />Replace it with:
<node name="UseWebSocket" val="0" />In the same folder, open “XentryServices.xml” with Notepad. Find the line:
