You won't be able to use the scan & tune software without the registration key.
The V8 software can be used w/o the registration key though.

I wonder how that will work later on. :sneaky:

The firmware & bootblock version can be viewed with the V2 plugged in.

Actually, you can use Scan & Tune in "demo" mode but you can't save tunes and I'm also guessing you can't flash tunes into the controller.

Basically, you have a highly featured data logger at the present time. The guys at EFLIve may be able to look up the S/N or you may need to go back to the original reseller.

Try saving the file as a *.ctd (from the V7.5 software) and then loading that *.ctd file into the V8 software and using that to flash your truck.

Also, an updated pre-release version of the software with many new features and bug fixes is being released later today.
