Suggestion
Each car it's plugged into, either just reading codes or resetting codes, counts against the 3.
Leading evidence: 'Reset codes, counts against the 3' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Reset codes, counts against the 3' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Then - you can send the cable back to them so they'll reset the count on the cable, once.

I learned from ait109 on the 996TT forum that Durametric will reset the Enthusiast cable for you one time.

Then, after your 3 are up, you can send the cable back to be reset so you'd get another 3 vehicles to "service."

You could read every DME as part of the test drive.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I've been considering buying the Durametric Enthusiast package for some time now but my recent airbag light has given me yet another nudge. The problem is that I am almost certainly buying another 911 in the next few years(anywhere from next week to 3 years anyway!). As the Enthusiast package is only good for 3 cars I would be restricted from plugging in to every car I look at during my next search. I would love to get the professional model which is good for an unlimited number of vehicles but the cost is ~$800 which seems a bit excessive for my purposes. It occurred to me that a local co-op would solve my problem and I thought I would test the waters here. Any interest? PM me. I'm in Howard County.
I learned from ait109 on the 996TT forum that Durametric will reset the Enthusiast cable for you one time. In other words, I could use it for as long as I own the '03 then interrogate as many DME as I want during a new purchase search and then when I purchase a new car, send the cable back to them and they will clear it for me giving me three new VIN. I confirmed this with an e-mail last night to Durametric and ordered mine straight away. I love new toys!
You are only allowed to clear codes for the first 3 VIN entered. You can use the read function for as many as you like. This was news to me as well. This was confirmed by Durametric.
Thanks - so you can "service" vehicle 1, buy another, and another. You can read as many as you'd like.
Then, after your 3 are up, you can send the cable back to be reset so you'd get another 3 vehicles to "service."
Pretty cool.... hard to go through 6 vehicles for most of us.
Well, I guess you could do that but, if I'm looking for a second car, I'm probably going to plug into more than one car before I buy one so I can't see getting 6 cars out of the tool. I think it's important to note that even if you don't clear a code it counts toward your 3 but you can READ more than 3.
Thanks - that's what I was getting at. Now I understand... Each car it's plugged into, either just reading codes or resetting codes, counts against the 3. Then the tool is effectively disabled for resets, right? Once disabled - you can still read as many cars as you like.
Then - you can send the cable back to them so they'll reset the count on the cable, once.
This makes MUCH more sense now - glad you clarified.
