I used autocal to flash my 01 lb7 on Dec. 10th 2013. I was troubleshooting a wiring issue and flashed my truck back to stock on Dec. 20th, no problem. Went to flash back and found the VIN# and SN# were wiped from the ECM. I went through my autocal distributor and tuner and we came to the conclusion that the ECM went bad. I purchased another and they are in the process of flashing my VIN and SN onto it. I was wondering, do i need to purchase another license? I really dont want to as I have SO much $ tied into this thing already and havent even had it a month!!!! PLEASE tell me that EFI will cut me some slack or even better yet that i wont need a new license since it will have same vin/sn on the new ecm?!

Your tuner will need to contact sales at EFILive dot com detailing the exact issue that occurred, along with an invoice for the new ECM and screen shots/trace files showing the corruption on the ECM for a replacement to be considered.

FWIW, LB7 ECMs are notorious for corruption even when using factory programming equipment.
