Does anyone know if the Superchips Flashpaq (or any other power programmer) will work on more than one JK? Ive been told that some programmers require you to enter your VIN, and will only work on that particular vehicle once the VIN is entered.

No, you can't have two vehicles programmed at the same time. The hardware isn't where the cost is on these devices, it's software, research, development and testing.

You can return a vehicle to stock and use it on another. What you can't do is have a tune installed on two vehicles at the same time with one programmer.

Right... Most programmers can only store one stock config at a time.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think you can "buy" the potential to tune two vehicles with the Superchips. I saw that option in the Easy Updater software.

Hmm, could be. A buddy has one, I'm checking in with him. I have the Hypertech and they don't offer that option.
