When you are buying a software based good, you are simply buying a license to access that software, you do not get to sell your license. Also, was your "customer" ever given the assurance that ECUtek had resale value? was he ever told that he could resell it? If so, I guess there is a problem there with whomever sold him that product. I have NEVER seen any sort of claim that a person could sell their tune and license.

Everyone who is talking about COBB or Diablo do not understand what those products truly are. Those are physical products that contain canned tunes. If you remove the physical product from the car, you lose your tunes. That is much different tha something that flashes the tune "permanently" on the ECU.
Sounds like you have no experience with a Cobb Accessport, or similar.

The AP is just an interface to be able to flash your ECU, similar to the ECUTek cable. The AP must be "married" to your ECU to be able to flash that ECU. Once married, you can't use it to tune any other ECU, unless you "unmarry" from the original ECU. Unmarrying consists of reflashing back to stock, and then being free from the pairing. The AP is then free to be used on ANY other ECU, after being married to that new ECU.
