What about the license? How would anyone know before purchase that a license hadn’t been used?

not rearly
without a "dongle" you cannot run ecutek software
without ecutek cable you cannot flash , you cannot use say a tactrix cable instead, must be ecutek.
A lot of people think the ECU licience or tune is in the dongle , its not.
The dongle is just a "licience key " for the ecutek software.
The ECU licience is completely separate, you need to buy or have a new ECU licience for every ecu you want to flash.
The dongle key only allows ecutek software to run.
don't buy a ecutek cable without a dongle key, its useless. you would nedd to buy a new dongle key to get software to work, then you also need an ECU licience, and a tune to actually flash a car.
