once the tuner successfully loads a map into a particular bike - it will refuse to write to any other bike

sounds like it failed to load on the one and then did load on the other

So, your one SE pro tuner will load/download to 2 different bikes?

I'm guessing what you will find is that while you can create all the different maps you want in the software, you can only load any of those maps to one ECM using the one VCI that you have.  The VCI, not the software on your computer, is what gets "married" to your ECM.  And it's not just the SEPST that's set up this way, all the various tuning systems that use a Vehicle Communications Interface marry the VCI to the ECM.  If you think about it, a company would have to be really stupid to sell one VCI and let hundreds of folks swap it among themselves to load maps to their bikes.  It would be a business model guaranteed to result in bankruptcy.

If you successfully loaded a map to the first bike, that should be the bike your VCI is now married to.

It will register every time as the first time if you copy the code, do a tune and replace the original code back ...99% of the companies do this since they have to update their code.  In this case the VCI does require updates occasionally, correct?  This means it is programmable, correct? This means you only need one (so long as you keep the VCI code you removed prior to programming any bike).  IF the VCI is updated, copy that new code as your baseline. This is a bit of risk since you clearly will violate the terms and use of the product.  Noted and duly ignored. 

I didn't quite get that part

Buy the tuner
Download the VCI code (Tuner) (not married to a bike)
Program a bike (now married)
Put back original VCI code (Tuner) (Not married to a bike again and thinks it is brandy new still)

Repeat as necessary for as many bikes as you want.

Terms and conditions (Legal stuff) for the use of the tuner prohibit this exact thing - If you share the original VCI code or reprogram and resale the code or create a product of your own they have legal rights to nail you.

If it is simple like this, so definitely that's why no one have tried it before. From my previous trials with technology & software, there is always some way to "hack" anything.
