V1 Licensing Question

[tatasta]

Hello,

I have searched for my specific question but could not find the info.

I bought my V1 setup with two licenses. Recently I have been working on upgrading my 99 Trans Am's OS to the 2002's 12212156 OS (I think that is it). Anyway, my Flash Scan now shows both licenses used and none available.

Is that common when upgrading an OS? If so, can I go back to my 99 OS and keep the other license? I will need it later this year for my other car.

Newb question, I know, but that does not seem correct given it is only one PCM/VIN.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Robert,

If you flashed the new OS into the same PCM (that previously contained your old OS), then FlashScan should have used the old (already-attached) license...

The license is per PCM (a license attaches itself to the PCM serial number).

If you are using an older version of the EFILive scantool/tunetool software, there was a bug where the PCM serial number was going to zero and a new license was used up when flashing.

I notified Tech Support.

From the tunetool, display the V1 license window, and take a screenshot of it, and post here.

Thanks Joe,

I have not done the full re-flash yet. After I do, I will see what happened and post the results.

Thanks,

Bob

You may have to update the software to build 84.

You may have to update the software to build 84.

Where would I look to see what build I am using?

I have used the tool to check for updates and shows none are available.

Thanks

Joe,

Sorry it took so long. Like I said before, I never did make the change to the 2002 OS. I just copied my tune to it. I am still running my stock 99 OS and may not go to the 2002 for a while. Anyway, it took my other license somewhere along the line.

Thank you.

From the scantool or tunetool, go Help->About to see the build version.

You should be at build 84.

Bob,

Did Tech Support get back to you regarding the license that got eaten...?

When you select the Tuning Tool menu option: Flash->Show PCM Info...
what gets displayed for the PCM serial number? Does it match either of the two used licenses in your V2 cable?
