Autodata 3.45 was designed for older Windows environments. High security settings can block the dongle emulator from communicating with the OS.
Modern antivirus software (Windows Defender, Norton, Avast) often identifies the dongle emulation software used by Autodata 3.45 as a "HackTool" or "Trojan" and deletes it or blocks its execution. This results in the "Hardware does not match" error.
This is a common error encountered when trying to run legacy diagnostic software like Autodata 3.45 on modern versions of Windows.
