FM Genie Scout has always been the world's favorite scout utility for Football Manager since its very first appearance to the scene.
We pride ourselves on exclusively releasing this legendary tool since 2009. We always try our best to deliver Genie Scout to the world every year because your support to this project is outstanding.
Genie Scout 16 introduced a key new feature (In-Game Scout) and a couple of significant improvements (Rating System, Progress Rate) in recent years.
For Genie Scout 17, Eugene won't have enough time to work on new features. However, the plan is to make GS17 work with the same features that GS16 had.
The 64-bit Problem
There is one problem this year. FM 2017 introduced a 64-bit version for the first time. If your operating system is x64, then you will automatically get the 64-bit version of FM17. Why is that a problem? Well, Genie Scout has always been 32-bit and with 64-bit a lot of things change.Update 22 Oct:
Eugene has found a way to work around this and prepare the first beta of GS17g.

Discussion: FM Genie Scout for FM17 is confirmed
136 comments have been posted so far.
Genie Scout 17g has been updated to beta 2 build 702 that is compatible to the latest 17.0.2 patch, with some added functionality as well. See changelog.
99% of the users of this tool probably don't donate and he's always got a new version out within a day of every patch. He'll even respond to your one off email questions in a timely manner (which is saying a lot since he's in the Ukraine and I'm in the US).
If 12-24 hours without GS makes playing FM so unbearable, maybe just take a break and go outside for a minute or two.
We are aware that FM17 Beta has been updated to version 17.0.2 and GS17g is not compatible with that. Eugene is working on it. New version should be expected tonight or tomorrow.
just download an older version from this site. it doesn't have to be a donated version to get your unique id.
Restart pc and works.
Great news on the 64bit issue.
More and more people on 64bit now.

@glenbino: It won't initially work with FM Touch
@E99: Reply to the email you received and ask Eugene. Chances are he will provide you with a 2nd key without donating twice.
@timmileet: That doesn't work yet.
@JFalcao7: Please read the instructions on donation page on how to find your unique ID.
