Haynes have a new range of online manuals now including for the C5 X7. I selected one in the link, but if you start again, you can specify the exact engine type.

Hi there,
the best manuals - they are the PSA original instructions for workshops - last as of 10/2013
DokBackup Citroen for repair manuals and
Citroen SEDRE backup for electrical wiring diagrams
these are also available for Peugeot
Must be installed on a PC approx. 21GB for Citroen

Greetings Wolfgang

Agreed on that
You can pick this up on ebay for under £20 & it will cover most citroen models up to around 2014. It also has offline parts diagram lookup.

The spare parts are not always up-to-date because this is the status of 2013/2014 - but they are often correct.
The current status can be done - for donors - via the forum.
In addition, the usual repair time can be queried for most work.
easydiagnostik also had an offer for DocBackup.

I bought the servicebox from easydiagnostics and used it for a while, can't get into it now, need the code.

...I'm assuming that it's the 2013 version and that you still have the 3 ISOs that were installed with it.
If the activation has been destroyed, only a new installation will help. Activations are often eliminated by WiFi when actively using the DocUp program. Turn off the WiFi and use LAN - the activation code is bound to the hard drive via the LAN driver.
But sometimes also by virus programs or security updates from Windows.
Another possibility can be that the activation has to be renewed due to the passage of time - there is a program for this - easydiagnostics can tell you that.
Each installation must be reactivated. There is a program for that.

Thanks for the reply Wolfgang, I haven't tried too hard yet busy with other stuff.
