The Alientech KESS3, SKU ALT-KESS3-MA005-KIT, is not limited to Bench/Boot only as hardware. KESS3 supports OBD, Bench, and Boot operation, but the included activation on this specific kit is listed as Master Software Bench-Boot Car/LCV Protocol Activation. That means the included license is for Bench-Boot Car/LCV protocols, not OBD protocols.
The 12-month subscription applies to the included Bench-Boot Car/LCV activation/update access. OBD protocols are a separate activation unless the product specifically says OBD or OBD + Bench bundle. Alientech lists OBD and Bench-Boot activations separately, including a separate OBD + Bench Master Activation: Car-LCV Bundle.
