HP Tuners Credits are the licensing currency used in VCM Suite to unlock a specific ECM/TCM for editing and flashing. Each controller usually requires credits the first time you license it.

Credits permanently license your MPVI device/account to a given controller. After licensing, you can make unlimited tune changes and reflashes to that controller without additional credits.

Typical cases:

• Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep/RAM: 2 credits per PCM, 4 credits per TCM (if present)
• GM (E38/E90/E92/E99, etc.): 4-6 credits per ECM, 4-8 credits per TCM
• Ford: usually 2 credits per controller

To confirm your exact requirement: connect to the vehicle → open VCM Editor → License Info.

No. Once licensed, that controller can be tuned and reflashed unlimited times by the same account/device.

No. Credits are bound to the purchasing HP Tuners account and the MPVI interface they’re assigned to.

Credits themselves can’t be shared, but tune files can be. The other party needs their own licensed device to write the file.

From N2 Speed with your MPVI device. Credits are applied digitally to your HP Tuners account—no physical item shipped.

1. Connect your MPVI to the vehicle and laptop.
2. Open VCM Editor and read the vehicle.
3. Click License Vehicle → confirm credits for ECM/TCM.
4. Once licensed, edit/flash tunes freely for that controller.

No. Credits never expire; they remain on your account until used.

If the new module has a different OS ID or serial, HP Tuners treats it as a different controller and may require new credits. We can often assist with cloning or data solutions during unlock services.

Connect MPVI → VCM Editor → Help → MPVI Info. You’ll see credit balance, VIN licenses, and device details.

Purchase more through N2 Speed. They sync to your HP Tuners account and show up as soon as your MPVI connects online.
