Got HP tuners So I played around with it a little tonight. About the only thing usefull that I got accomplished was changing the speedo for my tire size (285/35/18 vs 275/40/18 
)
I also played around with the scanning tool feature. Kinda fun. I did notice that I can turn the "1 to 4" shift light on in the scanner. Then I noticed that there is some parameters to enable it in the programming mode, so I'm going to see if I can get it to work as a shift light.
There are a few other things that I want to do with it that I'm not sure it will do, and will require more research.

I assume you can install it on 2 computers
and my buddy has an 05 GTO, so it doesn't have to be the same car. Its just that were not buying the "all cars year/model" liscence. We're getting the individual car liscenses.

Program more than likely can be installed accross more than one computer to make changes to files, but you can't write to the PCM in the car w/o the hardware to plug into the PCM port under the steering wheel.
Tuners imo are amazing things, and overlooked by many. When doing simple bolt-ons they aren't totally necessary but when doing a cam I am sure it can help. With my GTP useing my tuner on that it more than likely saved my engine, it alerted me to the 14* of KR I was getting going WOT and I realized... platinum plugs aren't good for FI engines.
