Abstract
A method of facilitating access to one or more vehicle service programs, such as diagnostic software applications, for servicing an electronic system of a vehicle with a vehicle diagnostic computer tool that is configured to interface with the electronic system of a vehicle at a repair facility includes storing in computer memory a profile file for each of one or more users, where each profile file comprises credential data for a selected user for accessing one or more vehicle service programs, providing credential manager software configured to access user profile files to obtain credential data, using the credential manager software to selectively obtain credential data of a selected user for a selected vehicle service program, and supplying the credential data for the selected user with the credential manager software to the selected vehicle service program to access the selected vehicle service program for servicing the vehicle.
