How Bus Scope activation works

Download Community, capture and diagnose locally, then buy Professional or Team only when saved .bscope sessions or HTML/PDF reports matter. Checkout returns the purchase email and license key; enter both in the desktop app's License tab. The website does not inspect your USB traffic and does not replace the app's activation flow.

Before you buy a USB analyzer license

You do not need a license to capture, decode, filter, inspect, or export JSON and text. Buy a license for durable session save/open and report export. Team is a three-seat Professional bundle for a lab, support desk, or firmware group.

What a Bus Scope license unlocks

The Professional option is listed as Optional one-time unlock. Use it when the product has moved from evaluation into real work and the paid features are part of your normal workflow.

Optional license for durable session handoff and polished reports.

  • .bscope session save and open
  • HTML and PDF report export
Before activating Bus Scope

Inspect live USB traffic, decode device evidence, and retain structured .bscope sessions for firmware and hardware debugging.

The Community path is listed as Free, which makes it suitable for checking the installer, the local workflow, and the files you expect to use before committing to a paid seat.

  • Live adapter and device selection: Select USB capture adapters, lock a device target, and keep capture state visible while traffic arrives.
  • Transfer timeline and filtering: Filter by endpoint, direction, transfer type, text, hex, and device context while keeping rows dense and inspectable.
