There are a few important software paramount to a successful microsoldering repair. One of these tools is called Zillion x Work (ZXW Tools). The software is freely downloadable, but it won’t work without a subscription (new in version 3.0). In order to activate, you’ll need to download the software, then bind your existing dongle (v2.x) or sign up for a new account.
