HP Tuners uses a credit-based licensing system. Credits are used as currency to purchase licenses for the different modules in a vehicle. Licensing a module gives you the ability to tune it. The number of credits necessary to purchase a license varies depending on the vehicle. Credits are universal between the MPVI, MPVI2, MPVI2-Pro, MPVI3 and RTD devices.
Vehicle licenses are tied to the VIN, PCM OS, and PCM Serial Number. If those values don’t change, the vehicle will remain licensed on that interface and can be tuned indefinitely. One interface can store thousands of licenses and can be used to tune all the vehicles we support.
Once you purchase an MPVI3 you can read, edit, and save files without purchasing credits. You don’t have to license a module until you are ready to write a new file to the vehicle. The MPVI3 also offers the ability to tune remotely by sending a tune file via email or using Tune Delivery Network for professional tuning shops.
To activate Universal Credits for your MPVI3:
- Download and install the latest version of VCM Suite here.
- Connect your MPVI3 to your laptop/PC.
- While connected to the internet, load VCM Editor and select HELP > RESYNC INTERFACE.
Reminder, you must be connected to the internet as this process will also update your interface’s firmware to the latest version.
