I haven't gotten my recall work done yet since I wasn't exactly sure what it meant to my ECUTek license. Thanks for clearing this up - so it's a complete ECU swap after all. Should I even bother reflashing back to Stock before going to the dealer? If they're just swapping the ECU out, I guess it won't matter, right?

Once the recall work is done, I just have to get another license key generated by you so that I can re-flash ECUTek, or do I just re-flash as normal?

DRM in my car no thanks.
To be clear, you already have DRM in your car. The stock ECU is locked. ECUTek and any other re-flash tunes work because they managed to crack the protection. I understand what you're saying though, and Piggy-back tunes, on the other hand, manipulate the information going to the ECU rather than changing the programming directly - so that's most likely the option you want to take.
