Not sure what I did wronge but I get a message saying the Ostrich isnt licensed. I can connect to the Ostrich when its pluged in but I wont let me load anything to it. I think my problem is im not saving the Ostrich "license" file in the right spot but I cant figure it out :-[
-
You upgrade your Ostrich firmware for ectune?

I havent loaded anything for my Ostrich ???

Did you just buy it or you had it for a time and stopped working?
You need to follow the overcomplicated procedure to make it work on the first time.

-
Yea it's pretty locked down, for now.
-
I waited 2 days to get the licence... Cool software, but shit... simplify the fucking procedure.

But since I did it last week, did you register on eCtune then waited for the license file and hooked up the Ostrich to get the serial and get another license by email?
What did you do about the license file. You need to do it twice.

Come on!

I think i fucked up something. The Vendor ID said Ectune but i bought it from xenocron so I pressed the reset button now it says none >:(
-
i bought it from xenocron
theres the problem, you got henried.

Probably but i bought it before he sold out
-
go to ostrich settings it should say license true. if it says false ask for a new licence and check your spam folder.

It says false, but the auto e-mail sent me a new licence but where do I save that ???
-
email calvin. he is good and helpful.
-
Save it in your ectune folder. I had to overwrite mine. But yeah, its better to confirm from the ectune forums. It could be a different issue youre having.
-
if it says false save the license.xml file in the ectune directry folder C:/ program files/ ectune

you can set and reset vendor all you want.. All the "vendor" thing does it lock the emulator to ectune. You have to get the license for the program and you have to have the license for the ostrich. It has been ashile since i did this but the procedure is pretty straight forward. Download ectune and put the first license into the ectune folder. Register the ostrich in emulator > ostrich info, download new license from email and replace the new license with the old license. From there the vendor should be true and everything should work.
This setup can be confusing sometimes but you only have to do it once and its pretty secure. The rest of the time you just force update once a month.
-
if its a fresh install you have to wait for chris to send you the new license you also have to have him as your vender b/c he has your purchase info.
-
This is on Windows Vista I dont remember where I saved the first license, and I cant find a Ectune folder when saving this new licence file >:(
-
if its a fresh install you have to wait for chris to send you the new license
the Ostrich Lizense?
-
both he will first send you your user license which is 1mb then the other with the ostrich file is 2mb try to go back to your origonal purchase date and use the email with the first license you were issued
-
you need to contact calvin. The vista install may be a little different. I fucking hate vista
-
i have vista also install went fine
-
Fucking sweet I got it figured out, I wasnt saving the license file over the first file.
-

Wrong, Chris was always a fucking sell out.

Now I need to make a new death poll, and see how long it takes me to blow this POS up :noel:
-
FYI, Calvin scripts eCtune in .NET, so it is automatically supported by any XP or up Microsoft OS. Hell, it probably works in '95 if you can download the .NET framework for it.

Don't worry about it. You're a bright guy, it shouldn't take you more than three motors to become a master tuner. :)
-
Sweet ill tune 3 other peoples car before I touch mine then 8)
-
eeehh dont fuck with ectune calvin will shut you down, its not crome
-
He'll shut you down?
-
If he finds out you're tuning with his software without him gaining any money from it, word is he'll come after you.

You buys didn't get it. Their talking about blowing up three motors before he guy knows how to tune. Thus he will blow up three other cars first then tune his own mmmmmmmmmmmkkkkkkaaaaaaaayyyyy
-
Uhh, we got that. lilpooh's comment was referring to not being able to tune various cars on ectune like you can with crome, hence the crome comment.

I'd laugh in Calvin and Calvin's lawyers face if he tried to sue me. Suing someone over such a matter while hes in Europe would be a laugh.
-
one kid was offering turning cals into bin files for 50 he got sued.

You can sue anyone. It's not a big deal. The costs are minimal and doesn't require a whole lot of effort. Going through with the suit is what costs and requires effort. He'd go broke trying to make me go broke and probably fail in the end.
It would be hilarious.
-
There's already a hacked version of ectune available on the webz. It's not completely functional at this point, but it will be eventually.

I doubt he'd sue you, just blacklist you. And he's not been in europe for a couple years now.

It didn't work, but it did opened without the lock screen. If someone gets it fully cracked in the future, cool, I won't bother trying it. Some of the ideas Calvin's bounced off of me on that subject are pretty draconian. Besides, OBD1 Honda is dying off, without asking anyone about it I am sure that in another three years I'm sure eCtune will be a lot cheaper. Calvin's a bright guy with other irons in the fire.

So what, an obd2 app finally? Or...just custom jets & floats for a boost-capible Holley 650 double pumper?? I'd guess it will just be shit for k-series or s2k stuff.
Although I think Calvin is a little paranoid, I can understand. The problem is that no matter how much effort you go though, someone will defeat your security. I recall the big shit about the first PS2 chips. The first "real" chips used Actel copy-proof chips in which internal traces get shorted after production. Yet...they still copied them.
And IMO until he stops using a basic chip emulator, it will never be fully secure.

There's a much much smaller market interested in reversing car shit than the gaming/phone/computer/other scenes, especially in the tightwad OBD1 Honda market. I'm with Chris' position that making it difficult enough to keep the average guy honest is the only real goal, and Calivn's harder on it than that but he has relaxed a LOT over the last couple years.
-
Given that fact, he should try stuff with BMWs or some higher end car that hasn't been technically cracked. People paying hundreds of dollars for a generic chip for their M3 is rediculous.
-
Uh, log onto chiptuner and tell me an M3 ECU hasn't been cracked within 6 months of it being released by BMW. When you get paid hundreds for a generic reflah WHY would you want to do any more work??
-
The DCX ECUs are fucked up. It's a target AFR fuel table setup a la MAF with a VE table skinned over it to bandaid speed density, and the recent cars' e-throttle and manner in which they handle spark is completely fucked up.
Diablosport already supports it, and SCT's variant is somewhat brain damaged. Meh.
