Further details follow.

VCM Suite Pro
VCM Suite Pro is the default package that will ship to all users. It includes two (2) vehicle types (year/model based). It is NOT VIN or VCM locked, you can tune as many vehicles of the same type as you like. There is no limit as to how many vehicle types you can add (this caters for pay as you go tunershops or enthusiastic home tuners). Additional vehicle types are added via software updates, no need to return cable (this is our existing process).

Existing VCM Suite Pro customers are able purchase additional vehicle types at the new price of $199 or $399 depending on your current number of licenses.

VCM Suite Standard
VCM Suite Std has been replaced by VCM Suite Pro and is the default package for all users. Existing VCM Suite Std users will recieve a free upgrade to VCM Suite Pro with the next update (before Christmas). Users who have single vehicle type support may add an additional vehcle for $199.

Hey Bob,
Long time no see.
You will not be sorry go for it.

[cured5.7]

I hate to bring this back to life again, but I can't help myself.

I think the staff is doing good by sticking to the pricing. They aren't just doing this for the fun of it ya know. It's their perrogative, like it or not.

I own both autotap and edit, now I've got something to do with them!!

I think if they were going to throw existing customers a bone, it would be no more than another 6 months or so of updates. Speaking of which, mine expires on Dec. 11th. How far before Christmas is the "new update" going to be??

[FRC_Tom]

I apoligize Ken if I stirred up any trouble for you guys. Sometimes I don't think before I post.
You all have treated me great and you do have the best product by far.

With your program and with the help of all the great members on this board I have been able to tune my car, that could not be done by a couple of pros.

Keep up the good work and you have my support always.

New and improved Tide does not mean I should expect a rebate from them just as nothing expected when intel makes a new chip.

That's funny there dirk, but I'd like to hear from someone at HPtuner, not you.

And if the only thing that the existing members are getting is the upgrade to the PRO version, when is that happening?


Thanks

[Magic_Chicken]

Pro version is coming with the next update, unless you REALLY need it now. If you REALLY need it now, they will hook you up. But the more people that claim they REALLY need it now, and don't really, wastes the HPT staff's time they could be spending on programming the next release.

Everyone will get Pro at the next update (it will be close to Xmas at this stage). If you order a new vehicle type before then you will get Pro with that order.

[AnotherUser]

Man...this totally sucks...I need to renew my support, and I would just buy the additional vehicle and get 6 months, but I only have my Camaro. Poo. I wish I had a Corvette too....LOL. I guess I will just be buying another year.

Regardless, thanks for a great product!

[Bill@HPTuners]

yes, any new purchase (other than buying a year of s/w updates) gets you another 6 months.

on my customer login page(since i purchased another license a week ago) this additional 6 months isnt showing, is this something you guys will keep track of back office or will it eventually show up on my login page?

Thanks
Bill

[FRC_Tom]

Just sent the $s for 9 more cars, does this start me from today with a 6 month upgrade?

Tom

[Chris@HPTuners]

Hi Bill,

Seems i screwed up (again). You only get the 6 months on your initial purchase. New purchases do not reset your update service.

Sorry for the confusion.
