    Default Cannot Purchase New Vin License - No Auth Code

    I received a V2 that the owner stated they had used both VIN licenses and I would need to purchase another one. Cool, not a problem. I checked online how to do it, see that I need the serial and auth code, gotcha. I can get the serial, however in the VINs tab it doesn't give me an auth code, so I'm not sure how to go about purchasing another VIN license.

    Any assistance?

    EDIT: To add, when attempting to do any sort of flashing on the PCM, it gives me error $0533, No Vin License Slots Available which is technically correct, however it is not in any way, shape, or form giving me the option to purchase a new license because it does not seem to want to give me an auth code.

    Yeah, that was the very first thing I was following. The Auth Code field in the VINs dialog literally says "N/A" and the VINs dialog only shows the 2 licenses that have already been used by the previous owner. To note, this does have the GM tuning option activated.

    Can you generate a license backup file (*.lbu) of your V2? To do that, select the [F7 Licenses]->[Backup] option.
    Then email the *.lbu file to me at paul@efilive.com with a link to this thread.

    Just for your interest the Auth Code field will show "N/A" under the following conditions:

    • If the FlashScan device is busy performing other tasks (such as read, flashing or logging data).
    • If a device is not selected in the lower right corner of the main EFILive V8 window.
    • If the device's serial number is less than 12 digits long.

    Is it possible one of those is true?

    Regards
    Paul

    Paul:

    1) Not likely, it's just sitting there doing nothing
    2) I wouldn't think so, I wouldn't expect it to be able to show the 2 redeemed licenses unless the flashscan was selected

    This is what it generally looks like, for what it's worth. A quick photoshop since I don't have access to my FlashScan V2 again till Thurs.
