    Default V1 stopped letting me flash my pcm

    Hey Paul,
    Not sure what is happening with my v1.
    It was working fine aND went out last night to make a change and got a popup saying it is scan only and to upgrade to scan and tune.

    License file is the one you had sent me a long time ago and was working with the latest version of efilive.
    Nothing changed, maybe a windows update.
    Strange since I've been using this laptop for flashing for years, and even flashed a short time ago. Just out of the blue it says I have scan only.

    I can read the pcm and save to a file no problem, it comes up with no errors connecting with the scanner and tuner, and then run either the test or flash I get the popup.

    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    The "Personal Scan and Tune" license has been discontinued.
    A free upgrade to Commercial Scan and Tune is available. Send your serial number to me at paul@efilive.com and I'll email back the upgrade code.

    Regards
    Paul

    Don't worry about sending an email, I obtained your serial number from the traces above.
    I have emailed you an activation code to upgrade your V1 to a Commercial Scan and Tune.

    Regards

    I know this is an old post, but I'm in a similar place. Upgraded to Commercial, registered product, and flash still fails. Here is what I see:

    Status shows a green check, so I selected Test for the first time.

    It ran through Simulate ECM memory erase
    Then Simulate reflash and 2K of 224K
    Reflash failed ... aborting
    Total time 00:11
    Data compressed 29.2%
    Clear emission related DICs
    FSP interface okay
    Auto detect PCM
    PCM not detected


    Help!

    Help!
    What PCM type are you using?
    Can you check to see if a trace file was created in the folder \Documents\EFILive\V7.5\Bug Reports. The trace file will be named something like "20190926_120523_download.blx"
    Where the numbers refer to the date/time that the trace file was created.
    If the trace file exists, please email it to me paul@efilive.com.

    Are you able to log data from the PCM - i.e. do any communications between FlashScan and the PCM work?

    Regards
    Paul
