If you are using a HPT, the best place is to get a BIN from is to have the HPT program read your PCM. It is locked down a lot more than the PT software, and gets very problematic depending on the license you are using. For example, if your license is for your car only, using a bin from another PCM is not going to work as the serial numbers from the 2 PCMs are not the same. If you lived close to someone with a PT, just get them to read out your PCM, you save that file in 20 different physical locations (lol), then you are pretty much good to go.
With the PT, there are a lot less "restrictions", and it is not a problem, however, the scanning abilities of the PT kinda suck and of course, there is no longer any development going on to advance it.
