    Default licensing a used roadrunner

    i bought a previously owned RR and i was wondering
    if the RR license stays with th RR or
    must a new license be purchased when using
    a different efilive unit.

    The roadrunner should have a number engraved in the area where the engine harness plugs in. This number is to identify the beast. Craig should know where it has been.

    The license stays with the original purchaser, unless they give it to you when you purchased the unit. This would be the software license.

    The problem I see, is when you have EFILive, the roadrunner serial is with all the other info for registration, so I guess I would not give up my flashscan info to give them my roadrunner license.

    The same drama is when you had the roadrunner registered when you had v1 up and running and then you upgrade to V2. You still have to have the v1 reg info in place to have the roadrunner going with V2. It's not a big drama, you just really need to keep track of all the reg info you have.



    If you have TC OBD2 and a roadrunner going you will find there is just reg info to put in on a couple different versions of the software, I use Craigs version. If you did not get the reg info you will need to purchase a licence. Craig might be nice if the roadrunner was originally regestered with Him.



    If you want you can plug it into the latest version of TunerPro and there
    is no reg info needed. But then you would have to know what to do with it, some fun can be had here.


    You may have a little drama changing over from one software to another. The roadrunner usally requires a kick in the ass. Each Vendor has a unique ID and when swapping software the tune cal installed is erased.

    So don't scratch your head to much. If you have Efilive and want to hook it up, get intouch with Craig Moates or Efilive sales and get one of them licenses.

    Have fun...

    If you put the right info in the reg screen it should go.

    Some of this info must be wrong, it does not take much.

    Maybe run it past Paul, he just might help you out, you never know.

    Cheers

    i got the original email that has the license info.
    i enter it in the #2 tab and it still won`t unlock.
    i don`t have the original V1 flashscan serial number that
    went with this though, maybe that is needed.

    This would be correct.

    You need to put the flashscan serial in as well.

    Actually when you license roadrunner you need to use the same flashscan serial info even if you upgrade to V2 later. so you might have to put in two license info's to get everything going.

    If you can get this info as well you will be good to go.

    Your on the right track.
