Does vxdiag scanner works as j2534 passthru for Mitsubishi MUT III diagnostic software?

VXDIAG does not have license for Mitsubishi. Some tested ok as j2534 passthru device. Some don't. Need luck.
Here is the MUT-3 driver for J2534 device. Free to test by your side. You are at your risk.
You need to copy the driver folder of vxdiag, open regedit navigate to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\PassThruSupport.04.04 and export the folder vxdiag to your desktop, add any name when ask you.
After remove the vxdiag software. Copy the drivers folder at the same location it was before. And click the reg file from the desktop that you save before.
This way you will have your vxdiag drivers installed without the vxdiag software to control your lisense. vxdiag (for example vcx nano toyota) will work, nothing will change there, and try again with mut-3. if dll files from driver are not locked too it will work.
edit: the drivers folder you need to copy before remove vxdiag soft is here: C:\ProgramData\VCX\Apps\PASSTHRU\
open the folder in programdata\vcx\app\and check if you have toyota folder and save it to desktop, remove vxdiag. and download the ready drivers and reg above.
Run the reg file and try mut-3.
It is a Gmc 2500 2011 Canadian model. The client got a key from the dealer but cannot get that security light closing after 10min.
Error code: P0633. He tried test unpluging battery one night, still not working.
DTC P0633 shows up active and the vehicle does not start because the new key is not programmed to the vehicle.

Suggestion:
VXDIAG VCX SE or VCX NANO interfaces will do the job for you. You have to be sure to select the model for GM vehicles.
In order to program the new key (as a first or master key, because you don't have the original master key) you need to put the PCM in learn mode, and this is only possible through SPS2 programming.
After that, you can program any additional keys without the need of SPS2 programming.
Feedback:
He paid for one VIN 2 years use of SPS2 and got the vxdiag tech2 clone.
Finally when you lost a key don't touch anything before getting all the tool you need vxdiag tech2win and register to sps2.
