I think I learned something tonight, I just want to make sure my understanding is correct. Are credits associated with a specific file?
No credits were required to read my vehicle, and I was able to save a version of the .hpt file. I saved a 'stock' file and then did a Save As to create a version (v1) to modify. I was able to successfully write the modified version to the vehicle, at that time I was required to associate credits with the TCM that I was trying to update. Days later, I have made new updates to the file, but wanted to keep a history of files as I made modifications, so I did a Save As again (v2). However, when I attempted to write that file to the car I was prompted for license information again. I pulled up the v1 file and was able to write directly to the vehicle.
So, my question, clarification really, is, are the Credits directly associated to a specific TCM and one individual file? If so, is there a way to change the name of that file without risking the license? I would like to rename my modified file, but do not wish to break the relationship back to the vehicle.
