    Credit question

    I bought hptuners used, the guys i got it from has used it a while and says a few years are unlocked, 98, 99, 01 f-bodys,(they all say 6 credits)
    Im trying to tune on a 99 and it says i do not have a license to complete this, i have option to "do not license", and in the shadow is "single vehicle VCM 2 credits" or "unlimited vehicle group 19 credits".


    under the vehicle group it says upgrade credits 13 and credits required 17 for gen 3 v8 cars

    The Help-license info-upgrade credits screen would show you how many credits you have towards whatever file you are attempting to license.
    It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be done in two weeks...

    In that case maybe it has a vvcm enhancement installed, either that or you don't have the year/model license for it.

For transmission its a 4l65e built with the monster in a box mega ss kit. All in a 92 chevy ext cab 4x4 pickup with a 98 cab now installed with a third door! running only e85

    For the stock operating system yes, but you don't have the vcm enhancement unlimited license(20 credits).
