Your best bet might be to just sell your V1 and buy a V2 out right, or to leave at least 1 unused license on the V1 cable after you upgrade it and then sell it to some who understands no more licenses can be added to it other then the one that you left on it after you upgraded. You only have to get $150 for it to break even, but I would think you could get a little more then that for it. I have done that for several guys,
I went from v1 scan ($250usd ?)to v1 commercial ($286USD) so to upgrade to V2 it will cost me another $549USD, that will equal $1085USD. I don't get to claim it on tax either as I'm a home tuner and not a business.

I might go another way and purchase HPtuners later on for $649 with 8 credits, the ability to tune Australian Fords and E38's. It's an extra $100USD but will be worth it. Good thing is VCM / HPTuners is about 1/2 mile from where I live.

Thanks for your reply. You did make me think about an alternative.

Money going elsewhere well done
