Continuing EFI live tune with different "hardware"
Hey everyone,
I think I know the answer to this but I figured I would ask since I've never done it. Well, I tuned my H/C Z06 in the spring using the EFI Live scanner and software from the job I was working at. Everything is good but since then I have gotten a new job that doesn't have the scanner to use. My question is if I either buy or find the "hardware" to use will I have to make a whole new calibration file and use another license or will I essentially be able to pick up where I left off as I have the final calibration on my personal computer.
I'm assuming if I have to start over with another license I could essentially be able to just open and save the current file and then go from there.
Thanks in advance!

I use both and each has pluses and minuses. Now that HP Tuners 2.25 Beta has incorporated the Virtual VE coefficient developer into their software, I would lean toward HP Tuners...mostly for its A6/A8 tuning capabilities...but that's just my opinion.

Correct on both answers...as you will have to buy a new cable anyways, and relicense, you have your choice of EFI Live or HP Tuners as you can pull your current file into HP Tuners and work it....

I like HP but we had the EFI at my old job so it's what I used. And at a personal cost standpoint the HP tuners is more budget friendly.
