If you’ve recently gotten an email suggesting you’re about to lose support—and that the “only” solution is switching diagnostic brands—take a breath. You’re not the only shop being put in that position, and you’re not stuck.
At DEFY DIAGNOSTICS, we’re keeping this simple and professional: if you’ve built your workflow around TEXA on a Toughbook (or any PC-based setup), you do not need to abandon your investment because someone else is stepping away. Instead, you can upgrade your PC-based TEXA unit to a purpose-built AXONE tablet and, right now, TEXA is making that upgrade far more valuable with a national promotion:
Upgrade your PC/Toughbook-based TEXA setup to an AXONE NEMO PLUS or AXONE NEMO VOICE and receive FREE TEXPACK updates for the licenses you already own.
Even better: there’s no trade-in required. You keep your old computer.
This post breaks down what the promotion includes, who it’s for, and why it’s the smartest “next step” for shops that want to stay with TEXA without getting forced into a tool change.
Are You Being Forced to Make a Change? You Don’t Have to Start Over
When a distributor stops supporting a product line, the messaging can quickly shift from helpful to high-pressure:
- “You’ll be unsupported.”
- “You need to switch.”
- “Move now or get left behind.”
But what that often ignores is the reality in your shop: your TEXA licenses, VCI, and cables are still valuable. Your techs already know the workflow. Your investment is already made.
So rather than letting someone else’s business decision force your hand, this promotion gives you a clean path forward that preserves what matters most:
- Your current TEXA ecosystem
- Your tech’s familiarity and speed
- Your ability to stay updated and supported
If you’re unsure whether the email you received truly applies to your setup, call us. We’ll help you verify your best next move without the sales pressure.

The TEXA Upgrade Promotion: What You Get (And Why It’s a Big Deal)
This is the core offer, and it’s strong—especially for shops sitting on PC-based TEXA systems.
When you upgrade from a Toughbook (or any PC) to an AXONE tablet, you receive:
- 12 months of TEXPACK software updates at no cost for all your current IDC5 or IDC6 licenses
- Free transfer of your existing TEXA software from your current laptop/PC to the new tablet
- A modern, shop-ready platform built specifically for diagnostic work (not a general-purpose laptop workaround)
Promotion window: Valid until 12.31.2026
The real win here is that the promotion is designed to protect what you’ve already invested in—you’re upgrading the platform, not buying your way back into diagnostic capability.
Yes, This Includes Toughbook Setups—and It’s Not Limited to Toughbooks
We’ll say it clearly because it’s a major point of confusion:
- If you’re currently running TEXA on a Toughbook, this promotion is absolutely aimed at you.
- If you’re running TEXA on any PC-based unit, you may also qualify.
And importantly:
No trade-in required
You do not have to give up your old computer. Many shops choose to keep it as:
- A backup workstation
- A training station for new techs
- A documentation/lookup PC
- A “just in case” unit for busy weeks
Choose Your Upgrade: AXONE NEMO PLUS vs. AXONE NEMO VOICE
The promo applies when upgrading to either:
AXONE NEMO PLUS
A powerful, modern tablet designed to replace the “laptop balancing act” with a cleaner, faster daily workflow.
AXONE NEMO VOICE
A premium option for shops that want a top-tier tablet experience—especially if multiple techs rely on the tool all day.
Not sure which fits your shop? We’ll recommend the right tablet based on:
- Your license package (IDC5 vs. IDC6, and categories like truck/OHW, etc.)
- Your VCI model and how you connect in the bay
- How many techs share the tool
- What you want: “best value” vs. “best experience”
Why Upgrading from a PC/Toughbook to AXONE Makes Daily Work Easier
Most PC-based TEXA setups work—until they don’t. Tablets reduce friction that quietly steals time from every ticket.
Benefits that matter in real shop life
- Keep your existing VCI and cables
The promo details note you can continue using VCIs such as TXTs, Multihub, and Multihub 2—so you’re not rebuilding your hardware kit. - No more USB key
AXONE tablets eliminate reliance on the external security key—less hassle, fewer “where is it?” moments. - Smoother support and troubleshooting
Purpose-built hardware + aligned software typically means faster resolution when something goes sideways. - Warranty coverage considerations
The promo details indicate the tablet warranty also covers your VCI, with options to extend after the first year—extra protection for equipment that earns its keep.
This is exactly why so many shops are moving away from “diagnostics on a laptop” and toward a dedicated diagnostic tablet: less fiddling, more fixing.
Already on a TEXA Tablet? We May Have Other Upgrade Offers Available
If you’re already using an AXONE tablet but want to step into a newer model, expand capability, or simply modernize your hardware, there are other upgrade offers available.
Because those options can vary by what you currently have, the fastest path is to contact us and we’ll map out the best deal.
