Credits are used to allow someone to buy one tuner but tune multiple vehicles. Back in the day you got a handheld or a chip and you could only tune one vehicle with it and that was it. Then it changed you could only have the tune in one vehicle at a time. This is to ensure, say Diablo, doesn't sell one handheld tuner and a guy is out tuning ever car he can with it. So now, the tuner can buy HP Tuners software and it comes with "credits" (like the old days at the arcade, you need two credits to play this game) to allow them to flash/tune a vehicle. The tuner can purchase more credits for $50 a piece. Based on the car you are doing, the amount of credits needed varies. I believe this is due in part to some regulation and a fee the tuning companies owe for flashing vehicles, but I'm not 100% sure on that. Does that clear it up for you at all?
