Bin File Keys are the licenses that are purchased and used to write an ECU. A bin file key grants you access to write an ECU from one particular bin file definition. This article only refers to bin file keys, and not Race Tools keys.
We have a few different pricing types for keys. For information on bulk key purchasing and allocations, please refer to this article on bulk keys.
Standard Bin File Keys
In most cases, we have a standard bin file key which you can use to flash one ECU an unlimited number of times. You will need to purchase a key for each ECU you wish to write.
Free Bin File Keys
Some earlier models have bin file keys which are free and readily available on any activated account. You can write as many different ECU's for free models that you would like. Free bin file keys do not need to be purchased or allocated.
Unlimited Bin File Keys
Some earlier models have unlimited write access. This means that you just need to buy ONE bin file key under a particular bin file definition, then you have access to writing an unlimited number of ECU's that fall under that bin file definition. Once you have paid for ONE bin file key for an unlimited bin file, you do not need to purchase or allocate any more keys to write more ECUs.
Race Kit ECU Keys
These key cost twice as much as a standard bin file key and cannot be allocated from the bulk keys page on your account, and can must be purchased directly on the website. Race Kit ECU's are the ones with model titles including 'EM-Pro' (Suzuki), 'HRC' (Honda). 'KRT Race Kit' (Kawasaki), or 'YEC' (Yamaha).
