Default HP Tuners question

Just ordered the VCM suite from HP Tuners and had a question on how you "license" it to a certain car. When I paid I figured it would have a place to choose what you wanted to use your credits on. I know it is probably simple; but I'm just curious.

Well i just got mine and am messing with it. When you go to use it it'll give you the options for using your credits. It appears if you got 8 credits you can tune 4 individual cars(vin numbers). Or you can use 4 credits to tune any year and model and there are some other options, so just wait until you get it.

what pewter said, once you go to do a pcm read it will give you the licensing options, you can do a single pcm for 2 credits or a year/model unlimited for 6, if you decide on the single pcm this time & then find another 01 fbody to tune it will again ask you how you'd like to license it pcm locked or year/model which will then be less credits because of our upgrade credit procedure. Here's a little how to http://www.hptuners.com/help/vcm_edi...activation.htm

as far as how long it takes, most orders SHIP within 2-4 business days after the order is placed, depending on how far you are from orlando florida will dictate how long it takes ups to actually get the product in your hands
