My Predator Goes locked after ford dealer reflash my car. When I try to install a custom tune in the car this error message appear "Invalid licence (2). The tune in this Vehicle does not match the last tune written".

I'm already registered my Predator here. What can I do to fix this issue?

You will have to fax us a copy of the work order that says that the PCM was reflashed and then give us a call and we can unlock it for you over the phone.
No, i don't work here.

To make a short story, I reflash it myself. I'm using 2 programmer for that car the reason why is I bought Supercharger kit from Explorer Express in November 16, 2007 and they come with a SCT programmer but the tune in this kit don't have access to play with adjustment parameter. That why I'm used my Predator to adjust parameter on the original back-up (tune previously downloaded with the SCT). The reason why I like change parameter on the SCT tune is I was installed a Water/Alcohol Injection on the car and I can't get the best on Dyno without adjustment and the Predator give a good adjustment range the second reason is Bamachip charge $$$ each time I’m asking for any change and the third reason is I already have that predator and I use it.
So you have all the story mow, my Predator was bought in June 11, 2007 at a Ford Dealer Ostiguy ford inc. 400 boul. Richelieu, Richelieu, Quebec, 450-658-1717 and I never use it on another car, it still lock on mine and you could verifying that on my registration.
In proof of that I could send a picture from the screen of my Predator showing my VIN in it.

The only fix here is to undo whatever you did.
Why you flashed it with the SCT after the tune was installed from the Predator is beyond me, but you need to undo what you did by going backwards in the order of what you did to undo it, make sense?

Is exactly what I do, I reload 3 or 4 time the tune in the car from the SCT as previous one but my predator still showing the same statement... Maybe I did a small change like fan temp but I don't remember with the amount of change I doing.
They have a way to know witch parameter was in the car before?
Do you sure if I found the previous parameter the predator was ok?
Could you just reset my predator?

Only option I have is to force the stock tune (or whatever the Predator read out of the PCM) back to the car.
This may or may not present an issue with your SCT tool though.
If you want to attempt to force the stock tune to the car, give us a call with the tool powered up in the car.
