Failed to Activate PCMTuner 1.2.7 with License Key Solution
Here is the working solution for people who has problem activating pcmtuner flash 1.2.7 software.
First of all, follow instructions here to send the device ID to info@tuner-box.com and activate pcmtuner with license key.
http://blog.obdii365.com/2022/08/07/pcmtuner-flash-1-2-7-download-and-activation/
If failed to get it activated after copy license, it asks to activate again, check solutions below:
1).
It’s very simple the mistake we suspect people are making is they are trying rename the licence file when they are being asked to save it on there computers and the minute you rename or alter any of the text or description that it wants to save the file as on your desktop that’s when the problems are starting we have found so the trick here is don’t alter or change the name of the file when saving it because if you do then the license file won’t work and you will have the activation problem despite loading it into the system.
Don’t change lincese name !! name of license it must be (PCMtuner.license). Let the license open with pcmtuner flash. Set up the pcmtuner lincese open with pcmtuner flash, then it will work.
2).
The other mistake that people are making is although its telling you to copy and paste the file into the directory that won’t work either and will causes issues so what we found is if you actually physically move and drag the license file into the directory fully then open the pcm flash software then that also solves the problem as well and it will work perfectly first time every time with the license files if you follow the instructions there.
3).
If still failed to get it activated, contact sales@obdii365.com to get technical support via Team Viewer.

How to Fix PCMTuner User Already Exists?
Question: I changed computer so I reinstalled pcmtuner software on another notebook... I've downloaded everything again, I enter my Data but it says already registered user and won't let me log in... does anyone know anything?

PCMTuner Cannot Login VZ-performance?
Question:
I can use PCMTuner, I already made the registration when installing the PCM Tuner. I can open the software. but I can’t access vz-performance. The device has been activated. I can now access the https://www.tuner-box.com/ website and the PCM software. But the website https://support.vz-performance.com/ I can’t. Any idea?
Solution:
If you don’t have your device activated. Provide your pcm tuner serial number to your dealer to activate the device.
Also provide the email address and serial number to activate the VZ-performance account separately.
If you are a new user, leave a note to us that you need to activate both pcmtuner software and VZ account.
VZ-performance account password is no longer your email address.
Try to use your email as username and serial number as password.
User Name= registered Email, Password= Software Serial Number.
The factory will synchronize the serial number in the next update.
It will fix this bug. So users don’t need to activate vz-performance separately.
Please do activation until the next software update is released.

PCMTuner vs KTM Clone
The PCMTuner is the same as KTM200 KTM 100 and KTMBench clone?
No, they are different. KTM200 is a clone of the original device. PCMtuner has its own software. Supply tuner account, supply WinNOLS damoas. Supply VR files, KTM200 never can do these.
Check the comparison below:
Hardware:
KTM200 and KTMBench use self-designed hardware and USB dongle. Manufactured in China.
PCMTuner hardware and smart dongle are designed by a group of UK tuners. Originate in the UK, manufactured in China. Better quality and more suitable for tuners.
KTM200
KTMBench
PCMTuner
Software:
KTM series (KTM200, KTM100, KTMBench, KTMOBD, KTMFlash) are simple copies of OEM pcm-flash. The new KTM200 uses crack USB dongle with origianl pcm-flash v1.20 with 67 modules.
PCMTuner has its own software which is similar to Autotuner. They know what tuner want. Software not only for read and write, but can supply more solutions for you when you have the tool. They give more support for all legal users.
PCM Tuner v1.21 comes with integrated scanmatik2, supports original scanmatik2 pro feature. KTM does not.
The biggest difference between KTM and PCMTuner is that the later has tuner account for users to download VR files, winOLS damaos, map packs and has lots of benefits, KTM200 does not.
Check: PCMTuner Tuner Account
Activation/Registration
KTM200 does not need activtaion.
PCMTuner you need to provide the serial number to activate and register with tuner account.
Update:
KTM200 can be only updated by purchasing a new version USB dongle.
PCMTuner they say can be updated. Free update. No subscription, no annual fee.
USB Dongle
Both come with a USB dongle. pcmtuner dongle has better compatibility.
You can use the PCMTuner smart dongle with KTM series devices, but KTM dongle cannot be used with PCMTuner.
Both allow updating old KTM series to a newer version by new dongle.
Buy the pcmtuner dongle alone can also get software and account.
