PRO version multiple cars
Guys/Users, Since a short while we are shutting down people who are not keeping to single car license agreement. -PRO version: paired to ostrich 1 car only -PRO version: ostrich remains in car -PRO version: Taking action to get a binary from eCtune Pro Software/Moates Ostrich/Ecu. -PRO version: Using ectune on multiple cars -PRO version: Posting information regarding hacking ectune or defeating copy protection. If we detected any of the above behavior your license will be disabled without a question.

If you do that and you dont want to take any risk, just use the old tune without beginning all over again with a new rom. Calvin can see the amount of new made bins. If that constantly changes and also the base tune is every time for a different type of engine, he knows enough.

as long as tuning isn't done on that cal, or it's never uploaded I'm ok with that... I'm constantly creating various different cals to help with people on this board when they have problems, or to check my own sanity when I'm working with my car. Also, "-PRO version: ostrich remains in car" I think I understand what you mean by this but it leaves some questions in my mind. So to be sure I'm ok... mine doesn't remain in the car, I only have one and I use it to tune other people's cars occasionally... with UD or Crome, not with eCtune. As a result if I'm in the middle of tuning a car and have to drive my car for what ever reason(parts run mainly) a chip makes its way into the ECU. (from Crome) Plus I run an autoX class that requires a stock ECU (which is OBD2) so my ostrich gets almost as many miles as the car does. But it's never used in a way that should violate eCtune's TOS agreement.Gaskleppie wrote:Calvin can see the amount of new made bins.

agreed on all accounts, but I believe he is looking for signs of excessiveness... I myself open up new roms now and then to look at ignition tables and defaults.... I believe he means ostrich in one vehicle only when licensed for eCtune... but... for those doing tuning with the same ostrich using CROME, then I can see the dilemma. I think this is to keep people from switching from car to car (when multiple cars owned) and other anti-EULA type activities. I myself was astonished people were selling ROMS on ebay..... I emailed him the minute I saw the link. But, I have a good idea why it has ended up at this point..... and I support him to the best I can. The main link to pyracy on his software is the person with a license on their laptop... so monitoring this is totally acceptable in my opinion.

Can you explain me this in detail? How can Calvin see that I started a new rom without beeing connected to the internet? If eCtune is posting back this kind of information (once I'm back online) I'm having my doubt's about this beeing legal. At least in some countries/states it isn't legal to post back userinfo, without warning them on forehand. Or did I get you wrong Frank? If not.... my firewall will be tightened this minuteGaskleppie wrote:If you do that and you dont want to take any risk, just use the old tune without beginning all over again with a new rom.

I really like eCtune, it's my tuning solution of choice and have recommended it to several people in several foruns but all this issues and doubts with licensing is really a weak point. I know and understand the concerns of Calvin but this all would make more sense if it was \"1 license per ecu\" instead of \"1 license per car\", our major competitor is working with \"per ecu system\" and don't hear them complain. Now you can say that we don't are like competitors that we are better (and we are) and for that reason we need a different and tight licensing system, I agree with that but things how they are right now are a mess (i'm just talking about license agreement/text, i've nothing against eCtune being tied to machine id and ostrich/demon) just my 0.02
