HP Tuners Universal Credits
HP Tuners uses a credit-based licensing system where credits act as currency to purchase licenses for the various modules in a vehicle. Licensing a module gives you the ability to tune it. Vehicle licenses are tied to the specific VIN, PCM operating system, and PCM serial number. Once a module is purchased, it can be tuned indefinitely as long as those values do not change. You can read, edit, and save files without using any credits; credits are only required when you are ready to write a new file to the vehicle.
- Credit-based licensing currency for VCM Suite

Important: Credit costs shown are per controller. The FSCM and CCM requirements vary by model and are only needed for certain exhaust and fueling modifications — not on every build. We recommend connecting your interface to read these modules first to determine whether they need tuning and how many credits are required. Always verify your exact vehicle/application with HP Tuners before purchasing credits.
