VIN-locked programmers - Question

Do some programmers limit the number of times the owner can lock/unlock the VIN? I saw a classified add for a programmer and the guy said there were 5 VIN locks remaining on the unit. I think it was an SCT programer.

Yes, this is a quality of the SCT units.

Thanks, Jody.

Also, Jody, there is something I've been wanting to ask you about your custom tunes.

If I order a set of tunes (let's just say for instance 3 towing and 3 performance tunes) and I order them based on my oversized tires, if later I switch to a significantly smaller tire size, do I have to re-pay all six individual tunes, or is it a single charge to switch all the tunes to the new tire size?

We don't do that anymore. One set of tunes is all you need. Just get your Speedo recalibrated if you are off enough to notice.
