New and Old HPT Coexisting? I have all the F-bodies and Vettes on the old serial cable with 2.0.17. I am perfectly happy with the way it works. I actually prefer the serial cable over a USB for the way I use it. My question is, if I want to start tuning Gen IVs, can I purchase the new cable as a new customer and run both versions on the same laptop? ie continue to use what I'm licensed for on the old software/cable and anything new on the new software/cable? Can they both coexist on the same laptop?

You don't lose anything by moving to USB, in fact you will gain upgrade credits towards the all ls1 car packages.

if you upgrade to the MPVI Pro (EIO), you are saving $50 compared to buying the new cable outright and then having to manage the dual interface/software situation.
$199 upgrade + 8 credits = $599
compared to $649 (incl. 8 credits) for the interface outright.

I don't use E I/O. I guess it's just not clear to me what upgrading my serial cable to USB gains me other than being able to use the new credit system for licensing over just starting new like a new customer would.

the convenience of not having to switch cables and software, upgrade of a single software image rather than two seperate ones, the ability to use upgrade credits (for existing vette and fbody licenses) are the main reasons.
Others also consider USB a more convenient interface than serial.
