    unable to license ECM - no options available

    Hi All,
    First time coming across this. Connected up to a truck for a guy, was able to download the tune - strange that there is no VIN -- all symbols. The file appears to be good, I can make all the changes in the world. Tried to download the tune to the truck - of course it asks for licensing. Purchased credits, resynced interface, and clicked download again -- only option is 'do not license'

    Submitted a ticket to HPT - but since we are going into a weekend, i thought id ask here..

    Thanks for the help
    Jason

    vin block is corrupt and needs to be fixed via tech 2 or similar oem style flash device, then reread.
    It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be done in two weeks...

    A wise man once said "google it"

    Ok. Thanks Bill.
    Somewhere I read that previous versions of hpt could use a vin wizard to modify vin. I assume that's not possible here.

    Kinda have to license a computer to change a VIN, so that doesn't work.

    Get the computer flashed with the trucks VIN using a GM tool and start over again.
    2016 Silverado CCSB 5.3/6L80e, not as slow but still heavy.

    If you don't post your tune and logs when you have questions you aren't helping yourself.
