Yes absolutely, nothing changes there, all licenses and streams are still valid regardless if they were purchased 4 years ago or next year.Quote:

thankyou sounds like you are trying to do right by us and i thankyou for that.
Heres one for you I live in Canada.
Say I buy tunes from a tuner that is in the USA. If I open the tune (not locked) on my computer can I make the changes for the DPF/EGR to the tune and save it?
Yes, because you are in Canada, until the US EPA is able to enforce their laws on you guys then you will have no restrictions (maybe they already can? I don't know).
A tune file created in the USA is not 'infected' with the restrictions, the tune file is the same on any computer no matter where it's located. Unfortunately this does mean that USA tuners selling mail order tunes outside of the USA will need to give the end user (out of country) access to the tune if they plan on messing with any DPF related items.
Lol thank you. I was not sure if it would have been looked into a tune once it was made in the USA.
Thanks.
If a person in the US sends me a tune file, I can edit whatever I want and then send it back to him for flashing. All my updates will get flashed in since they are stored in the file... he just can't make any further changes to the region locked parameters without my help. Correct?
Ok, so that falls in to the same category of bypassing region protected DVD's.
Say you want to buy the 'Larry The Cable Guy - Git-R-Done' DVD from Amazon USA, it's a Region 1 DVD, but you live in Region 2 so it won't play. So you ask your friend in the USA to make a copy of it and change it to Region 2 and then send it over. Obviously Amazon and whoever owns the distribution rights to that DVD have no control over that. What I am trying to say is that we have implemented a system that we feel is going to stop DPF systems being bypassed in the ECM for USA based customers, if people try to figure out a method around our restriction then we certainly aren't going to be involved in guiding them because at that point they are guilty of software hacking.
I was also waiting for this to come, it was just a matter of time. I also hate to say, just like the region specific coding on DVD's, I give it about a month before the region coding is figured out on EFI Live and this will be a moot point......
Also, I am sure that the moderaters will be busy locking/deleting threads pertaining to this just like they are on other forums. If you need someone to blame, blame the idiot smoking out intersections and four lanes of traffic in your city's downtown!
Just my $.02, please don't ask for change!

Will this affect your development for new ECMs (ie CM2200) that aren't supported yet? Will the emissions stuff be addressed on those new ECMs for areas outside the US still?
This is what horrifies me....Quote:

BUT!!!! God forbid, the thing breaks or something and I have to have it fixed (and then I send it to be fixed, and then you guys put the latest firmware/boot block on it).....would it be possible to downgrade the firmware/boot block on the V2 to the old version that still works with Build 211 tuning tool???
thats what scares me....I can deal with running Build 211 forever (I only tune very few cummins's, so not getting access to CSP5 isnt the end of the world for me), what if the above scenario happens (V2 breaks or something) and Im "forced" into updating firmware/boot block????
