Will an OS upgrade burn my credits

2000 Corvette

I was considering upgrading the OS on my vette to a 2002 version. Would this burn my existing credits?? If so, is there a way to retrieve them to use after the OS upgrade????

why not utilize one of our custom operating systems? Most have RTT available at no cost & offer far more functionality then simply going to a newer stock operating system.

Yes, you will need to license VIN credits to use the newer OS. No, once you spend a credit it is gone.

Thanks sir

Unless the VIN is changed or the internal PCM serial number is changed you won't have to burn credits.

So wait, I can upgrade the OS in my 2000 t/a to a 2001/2002 and keep my VIN?

I have 4 credits left and no other cars, so I don't mind using a credit or two, but what's the benefit. I want to keep my vin, but I heard the newer operating systems had benefits over the 2000's.


Man I need a day or at least a couple hours to ask questions and figure out how to fully use HP Tuners..... Bill are you busy in the near future????

If you try loading an operating system with a vin that was never associated with that OS by GM our software will reject it.

Bill, I seriously need a crash course to understand what the hell I'm doing. Granted, I'm not stupid enough to go in and start changing everything and kill my car, but now that I swapped to a FAST 90/90, I'm struggling.

It's almost as if us having a baby has made me stupid.
