So ANYONE who gets "GM Licensed" can access the Updates and the GM TIS web, company or private citizen. Right?
Looks like my facts were a bit twisted. Sorry about that. Here are the facts.
So to set the record straight I just called GM and there are a few options.
1) The first option is purchasing through GM Service and Parts Operations and requesting one for your dealership. They have their own support team.
2) The second option is to purchase one through Kent Moore using GM's professional license extension program. Basically this means any other dealer or shop can use the Tech2 provided that they adhere to GM's policy.
3) The third option is to purchase a Tech2 for personal use using a few of the regional sellers by Bosch. Bosch sells the Tech2. However you will not get any support from GM for its use. An optional warranty can be purchased through Bosch for its use however.
For all of the above you can download updates from the TIS website but the level of service differs depending on if you are a dealer, authorized service center or for personal use.
