Menicing, thank you. The Demo is at Workshop level but the workshop parameters show up only in the Workshop tree. You can select what level you want to from the View menu to get an idea of what level you would want. ZF is only available from Professional up.
Ah yeah I see the options for different levels in view but they are greyed out and i'm unable to deselect any, tried with and without a file loaded but no difference.

Another questions which has probably been asked ,whats the reason for going to 3 credits to unlock and flash a vehicle?

Menicing, the grayed out selection is a bug, we will fix that ASAP.

3 Credits: Two are required for Editing and one for Flashing. For Basic you must use 3 per car.

For Professional similar but you may have a tuned that has been scrambled by and SCT Xcal and you would use 1 to reset it back to factory and 2 to enable editing (in that order).

For Workshop there are many options one of which is the canned tunes feature. More details when we finish developing Workshop.

Will you push an update out or will we need to download a new copy ? I'm also keen to see what's available in different levels

Hi decipha, spoke to Darryl and neither of us recall saying that. Did a search and couldn't find any discussion either.

$150 was decided on as a fair price due to the huge amount of work we have put into the software. We are almost up to 20,000 lines of code base for the editor/server and another solid 10,000 lines for preparing the strategy templates. We have both left our jobs (technically Darryl was retired!) and have been working full time without an income for about 8 months with all our profit so far going back into the company. Two wages plus expenses means we need to be selling lots of credits per week to make this a feasible business model. Our competitors all charge between our price model up to $600 per tune so we feel it is a fair price to charge considering you get unlimited flashes/edits for that price.

They all load for me. What error do you get displayed?

They all use https so if you are behind a corporate firewall sometimes they disallow https (eg some defence and government locations) as they want to inspect all data that leaves the location.

You are using Windows xp. Windows xp is no longer supported by anyone hence the secure connection we use is newer than is supported by your browser. You will probably find lots of new websites will not work for you either.

You could try updating your browser but I suspect you will have issues. Windows xp came out almost 16 years ago and is extremely insecure now. I'd recommend updating to Windows 7 or 10.

Our software requires Windows 7 and. Net 4.7.1 as well which cannot be installed on XP
