How to Move XirDecoder License and Use XRemover Correctly

Image
  Question 1: I want to transfer XirDecoder chip tuning software license to new laptop, can you reset this license? Answer 1: There’s actually a license reset button within the program. It will reset the license connection. It can also be used on a new PC. Question 2: Can XRemover correct checksums on its own? Does it need internet to change the program? Does it do the reading and writing to the ecu also? Answer 2: XRemover does not read or write to the ECU. Therefore, it does not perform checksums either. You must use devices and software that read and write to the ECU, and these devices will perform their own checksum checks. XRemover applies the solution to a file. The original devices used when writing the resulting new file to the ECU also perform the checksum process. It is beneficial to use original devices, not clones, when writing to the ECU.
