What software is he trying to install? The SCT racers software?

 

[dun4791]

yes, the discs Dan had, but they want a one time only key code....I dont undestand how you can move from one computer to another.

 

[dun4791]

I have the code, but it apparently only works once.....you maybe cant even switch laptops?

 

[fearbluer1]

You should be able to switch laptops as long as its the same user, but its suppose to be licensed to only that one person. He could call SCT and explain the situation, and see if they will unlock it for him or give him a new access code.

 

[dun4791]

even the same user needs a different keycode....hes afraid if he calls they will want him to pay fir the software again.........I know I have seen prp for sale secondhand before

If we look at the pc it was installed on we should be able to get the access code. If we give that code to them, and tell them that the software is not being used on an old machine because it was replaced with a new one it shouldn't be a problem. It would be more of a problem if the software was going to be used on another vehicle.

They just don't want people doing tuning on other cars than just the one car license that it was intended for.

You could have done that years ago, but no more. He has 2.9, not 3.3

From what I remember, the older original software is no longer supported. You use to be able to email them for a new key and they would send it to you.

The last time I switched computers, I had to upgrade the software to the USB dongle which no longer requires another key, just move the dongle to the other computer.

My guess, is SCT is the only way and I would guess he is going to have to upgrade.

Upgrade to 3.x and use the dongle. Once I got used to it I liked 3 much better than 2.9
