My assumption....
It is an OEM GM Performance upgrade, and assigned to the HHRs VIN in order to be covered under warranty.
DING DING DING! Since it's a GM Performance Part (and carries a warranty with it), a one-time use code is shipped with each kit that gives the tech access to the new tune. Once it's on the car, it can't be reused on another. Not even sure how they would handle an ECM replacement. :dunno:
Powertrain warranty on the Sky has expired, so I wouldn't go with the GMPP tune this time around anyway.
