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?

[Teg2boo]

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.

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.

Here is the procedure:

eCtune Ostrich Version
Ostrich1 firmware: http://websrv.ectune.com/OSTRICH_10_20_O.zip

Ostrich2 firmware: http://websrv.ectune.com/OSTRICH2_20_9_O.zip

Installer: http://websrv.ectune.com/eCtune.Setup.current.rar

Step 1: Install the right firmware on your ostrich
Step 2: Install the drivers for your hardware(FTDI[1] for moates products)
Step 3: Extract and install ectune
Step 4: Run Force update
Step 5: Start eCtune and register
Step 6: Receive and install license
Step 7: Connect your emulator to your pc. Step 8: Open eCtune and verify you can connect with the emulator then request license in Emulator->Emulator info->click Request
Step 9: Receive your license per email and install it(overwriting the old license.xml)
Step 10: Tune your car

Push your car off a cliff. Then eCtune is licensed.

[highroller54]

Probably but i bought it before he sold out

[lilpooh21186]

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 

[danz]

email calvin.  he is good and helpful.

[MantisX]

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.

[lilpooh21186]

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.

[lilpooh21186]

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.
 

[88dx]

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  

[88dx]

if its a fresh install you have to wait for chris to send you the new license

the Ostrich Lizense?

[lilpooh21186]

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

[98vtec]

you need to contact calvin.  The vista install may be a little different.  I fucking hate vista

[lilpooh21186]
