Two licenses purchased for same bike, cant use map from another year that I own a license to.

When i first flashed my ECU on my 2019 ZX-10R I used the 3d party map for the graves cat eliminator exhaust 2016-2017 (Still sold as working with the 2019) A few days later I purchased another license for the 2019 unrestricted map so I could attempt to create a map myself. Now when I try to use the graves map again it says invalid license, and wants me to purchase another.

Hi,

You are getting that error message because of the different files you are flashing. When your ECU was first flashed with the 2016-2017 file, it assumed it was a 2016-2017 ZX10 ECU. Then when it was flashed with the 2019 file, it thinks you are flashing a new ECU which is why you would have been prompted to purchase a new license. Different ECUs have different internal part numbers which we use to match files with.

For example, if you have a flashed 2016 ZX10 with a matching part number file in it. Then you try to flash it with a 2019 file, the software will recognize a new part number different then what’s in it now. Then it asks you to purchase a license. The software can’t detect the exact ECU it is trying to flash until the flashing process starts. The flashing process cannot start without a license as well.

This is why we always recommend flashing with a file matching the ECU part number. This protects the bike and owner from any possible harm and avoids any license recognition issues.

Thanks ,
