Locking tunes is a standard business practice. It's to cover their @$$es. If they send you a tune, unlocked and you go to Joe Bob's, who's not familiar with the UpRev software and something happens to your motor, then it could be a possible finger pointing match between who's liable.
Example, when you purchase any of GTM's turn-key kits and they send you a base map, they're locked as well. It's so only the original tuner can access and make the proper changes... as it should be.
I'm sure the other turn-key kits are like this as well.
