i think its the same as Hptuner, to the info and Vin of the computer, soo if you change Vin you need to license new vin, also you can read same as HPtuner but can write unless you license, So in short once you license a pcm you can modified all you want just maintain the same Vin and OS, so the JET doesn't think its a different pcm.

What exactly are you trying to do? Are you using HPT, EfiLive, Jet or ANY of the other companies? Are you TRYING to get a lawsuit brought to the guys that gave you freeware? Leave it alone.
I've spent my time in federal court being sued for BILLIONS of dollars by HUGE corporations, it ain't fun. :nono:
Carl, I am so sorry. I am not trying to hurt anyone. I just wanted to understand how the licensing works.
Sorry man, I hate how typing sounds sometimes. Most of us have no choice but to learn and experiment, that's how we're built.Quote:

IMO the freeware comes out because companies get greedy and it can put them in check.
I'm not the forum police just pointing out how bigger companies can sure be assholes sometimes. :happy:
Solution: Stop supporting people who sell you licenses (HPTuners, JET DST, etc), support instead people who encourage you to own your own hardware and do open development (PCMHammer, Flashhack, TunerPro, ALDLDroid, etc).
That way you don't worry about what those big mega-corporations think, and you still get to tune your car the way you want. That's a win in my book.
