How does it work with the new license for him? will he receive a new dongle or just use mine ?

Yes you need one ecutek licience for every ecu you flashed this ie ECU Licience, the dongle id is Ecutek kit software licience you only need one of those


once ecu has licience (its transferred on first ecutek flash) then you can flash that ecu as much as you like.


Dongle just liciences your ecutek software and tunes.


Ecutek ECU Licience is separate


Yes you friend can use your dongle/cable kit to flash their 86/brz but they will need to buy a ecu licience.


the licience will be applied to dongle id so next time you go online with your ecutek kit licience is downloaded to PC.


when they flash the new ecu that licience is transferred to ecu in car.


Any tunes from a tuner would then need to be licienced to your dongle id.


If you made up an unlicience/locked tune then anyone could flash it with any ecutek kit
