    Question Credits used on ECM/PCM when updated at dealer

    Question. If you have licensed a vehicle and its ECM/PCM but have that specific ECM/PCM updated at a dealership for a bulletin/campaign, even though there is no VIN change or ECM/PCM change will you need to re-license it?

    I replaced an E69 ECM with one programmed by Flagship1 and didn't relicense.

    It really is vehicle/ecm dependent as we need to use several different licensing strategies that vary based on the ecm type.

    So if it asks to re-license is it a matter of opening a support ticket? Or is it a matter that more credits will need to be used for the same ECM/PCM with the same VIN?
