Unlicensed vehicle

[triplecperformance]

Trying to flash file MPVI3 still thinks I'm trying to connect to last vehicle I did. Won't let me license new vehicle. Gives me unlicensed vehicle instead of prompting me to license.
Tried moving license.dat file and removing it still no luck still keeps defaulting back. How do I clear.

Been getting this same error on all the Chevys I am trying to tune. Reads fine, but wont write. It hooks the credits to the VIN then says unlicensed. VERY frustrating... Takes your credits / money then still wont let you tune. With the dozens of instances of people getting this error why has this not been fixed? Yes I put in a ticket before that canned response is posted.

I do believe that. Support Ticket 427851 if you can look into it. I have racers untuned who paid and cars not able to run because I cant turn VATS off on 3 2004 Cavalier 2.2 ecotecs.

You do not have a license for the vin/os pairing currently in the vehicle.

Read the vehicles ecm as it sits and license that vin/os pairing, use that file as your new base file & tune away.

This does not appear to be an issue on our end based on the information you provided.

This is the process I am doing.

1. Turn laptop on, get it connected to dongle and have VCM Editor open. Most recent beta
2. Click Help>Resync Interface
3. Click Read Vehicle. - Attached file is joel cavy 00
4. I change VATS do be disabled as this is a stand alone harness dirt track car,
5. hit save, file attached as joel cavy 001 nothing else is changed.
6. Clicked write vehicle
7. License Thing popped up. Normalled id pay for the license with 2 credits. This time I paid 3 or 5 or whatever it was to unlock ALL of the 2004 Cavaliers.
8. I set to Write Entire, turn off high speed.
9. I click write - see attached photo
10. It flashes and then says unlicensed vehicle. See attached photo. It has done this on every Cavalier I have tried with this MPVI3. I have done multiple on the MPVI2, but I dont have it anymore. Lost it.
11. I have tried to move and delete license.dat. It will flash the licensing, then it goes right back to saying unlicensed vehicle.

You do not have a license for the vin/os pair in the ecm, its very simple. It has nothing to do with removing/deleting the license.dat file, that won't fix you not having the license for the ecm in the vehicle.
