You need to license the new tune. HPtuners should prompt you to license it when you open it with your editor.

Is the tune in the PCM already licensed? If it is I think you should be able to read it out and have the transmision segment swapped out for an automatic one and then flashed back in without getting another license. I know HPT use to do segment swaps for you, I'm not sure if they still do but if you go to there forum I'm sure you can find out. I switched to EFI Live several years ago and their licensing scheme only license the PCM so it doesn't mater what tune or OS you put in it or change to, you never have to use another license. There was a user on here I think his user name was fof667 or something close to that who was helpful at getting segment swaps down, I think his name is Bill
