Default PCm help needed

I'm getting ready to crank up my LS1/T56 3rd gen RX7 for the first time and have come across a little problem. I bought a used copy of HPTuners with unlimited tuning for 02 f-bodies and 04 Silverado/Sierra v8 trucks. The only problem is I've got an 99 PCM. I was incorrectly told that flashing an 02 operating system to the 99 PCM wouldn't be a problem with the licenses I have, but apparently that isn't the case. because I got a license error when I tried to do it this evening.

I was just curious if anyone in the DFW area had access to a TechII with a bench harness, or a copy of HPTuners or EFLive that has licenses for a 99 f-body and either of my supported vehicles (not likely, but you never know) that wouldn't mind flashing my PCM for me so I can tune it myself. If not, does anyone have a spare PCM from an 02 f-body or 04 truck that they want to get rid of? I was really hoping to get this thing running early this week so I can drive it around a bit and work out the bugs to hopefully take it down to Austin for a big hot rod gathering down there this weekend, but that is looking unlikely now

Any help you guys could offer would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris Sanders

If you mail the pcm to my shop. I can reflash it to a 2002 Vin # for 99.99.

Thanks for the offer man, but for $100 I can just buy 2 more credits and get a single vehicle license for the 99 and do it myself without dealing with shipping. I was really hoping to find something local to take care of this if at all possible.
