This, unfortunately, prevented users from loading non-Ecutek tunes since this license info also "locked" the ecu from being read or written by anything other than Ecutek hw/sw. I'm guessing that that is no longer the case but would like to know for sure.
That was the case as of at least the MY04 STI cars with ecutek. Happened to me when I wanted to move from ecutek to AP protuner on my MY04 STI in 2006.
