when you purchase HPTuner, you are only purchasing the interface. HPT charges on a "per VIN" type setup. they chose to do the 'credits' setup due to varying cost between platforms. most older GM cars only take 2 credits ($100) to unlock a VIN. many new cars will take 4 for the engine, and 4 more for the transmission. the credits can be purchased directly from HPT as needed, or you can 'load' your device with some up front if you are a professional tuner, and plan to tune dozens of cars. they sell credits at different prices, depending if you are a vendor, a regular dude, or some other promotion/special. its easiest to just use the credit/token type setup.
