FORScan - software to enable/disable features in your truck

First time getting connecting my truck to Forscan and have been doing ok until I try to backup the modules before doing any programming. When I go to the Configuration and Programming button I can see all my modules. However when I select one and press the play button/run service procedure button it tells me "Sorry, you need an extended license to run this function"
I just want to turn off my TPMS sensors and do a few things with the power folding mirrors. Everything I read on the Forscan page says this should be able to be done without a problem. Did I miss a step or something?

Did you create an account on the Forscan.org site and request a license key?

See above. You will need to get the license key now and it needs to be renewed every 90 days. It's free, just create the account and follow the directions on getting the key. Save your as-builts on your hard drive AND on a flash drive or CD or something. Make two copies just in case. They are very important and change back to the stock as-builts if you think that the dealer will connect to the truck to reset or check codes. When in doubt, revert back.

Is this a 5.0L or an ecoboost. If its a 5.0L then it was done with forscan. If it's an ecoboost it's a factory option in the menu on the dash(IPC).
Also fill in your vehicle info on your signature. As you get involved with forscan and ask questions it will be easier for us to help you if we know what you have.

Thanks. I was able to find a workaround. I just disable CarPlay on my phone when my daughters are in the truck. That allows them to play their music over Bluetooth. If I leave CarPlay enabled then they can play over USB if they are sitting in the front. Thanks again for all of the help.
