Understanding tuning pack limits with Easy Tune free

In Easy Tune free, when you click on a tuning pack you will see in the details pane a summary of how many tuning packs you have tuned from and how many you have left to tune from as the below screenshot

When you tuning from the fifth of are at your five free tuning packs you are shown the below warning

When you are at you limit of five tuning packs, the details pane license count will turn yellow and you will no longer be able to tune from new tuning packs as the below screenshot

To remove this restriction, upgrade to Easy Tune PRO which starts at $199 or remove all tuning from one or more tuning packs to get below the five limit. You will still be able to set tuning with a different scope (global/group/object) from tuning packs you have already tuned from when you have used your five tuning packs.
